Holden's Golden Special Bitter

Today's as a few day absence as I was drinking warm Bush Ambree from cans in a music festival in France todays offering is a Black Country bitter not recommended in the book but it is a substitute as the one in the book is draft only.

 

 

 

Appearance:

Quite fittingly old gold (think wolves football strip) good white lasting head.

Aroma:

Aroma is juicy malt with a hint of  bitter hops

Taste:

Malts starts and a surprising sweetness and then a firm bitterness comes through. The finish is bitter sweet with lovely juicy malt overtones

Overall:

A surprising sweet bitter if that is not an oxymoron makes me want to try more Holden's beers.

7.5/10
