Coniston Bluebird bitter

 
A Cumbrian Bitter
 
 

 

Appearance:

Golden brown with a nice off white lasting head

Aroma:

Very floral hops with a nice undercurrent of malt

Taste:

At first the taste is dominated by a lovely malt flavour  which fades to a background then there is some acidity and tartness (think granny smith apple level of tartness) followed by bitter hops. The finish is long becoming more bitter as it goes on but matched by the malty undertone is really moreish.

Overall:

A top British bitter with a bit more tartness than the norm. A lovely pint.

8.5/10
