English Bitter·United States·4.6% ABV·One of 10 English Bitters in hopIQ·

hopIQ found 10 beers that share Bants's bitter and malty character. Toasted biscuit and honey lead this English-style bitter, with just enough bitter resin to hold it together and a slightly dry finish. It pours orange-copper under a fluffy white head and has a full body at 4.6%. English specialty malts meet East Kent Goldings hops in a classic ale built for sessions, and it comes around in rotation.
