hopIQ found 10 beers that share 3B's malty and bitter character. Fruity and malty on the nose, then a lingering bittersweet flavour: this copper-coloured ale was first brewed in 1910 as Arkell's Best Bitter Beer, and customers have called it BBB or 3B ever since. Maris Otter malt with Fuggles and Goldings hops keeps it balanced at 4.0%.
