This is one of the better bitters I've had lately (on par with Rogue's Brutal Bitter) and it is very disappointing that they actually stopped serving it while I was at the pub. Nevertheless, I obviously got there just in time to try this stellar offering. Citrusy, but not quite as hoppy as some bitters (rogue), this was just right.

Serving type: on-tap

A - Pours a dark amber with light hues around the edges with an eggshell head.

S - Light hops, bready malts and sweet esters.

T - It's like a mix of bitter/hops/toast/malts. There's some orange peel and a mild sweetness.

M - On the full side of light with medium carbonation.

O - I was hoping for more bitterness, but was only getting light hops. It's still an easy drinker with a clean finish.
