hopIQ found 10 beers with the same floral and clean character as JW Lees Bitter. The brewery's oldest beer, on the bar since 1828 and known locally as John Willie's. An all-malt amber bitter built on pale ale and crystal malt with Golding hops. The nose is floral with a light spicy edge; the palate is clean and dry, with rich malt held in check by a smooth bitterness and a faint citrus note in the aftertaste. Deep amber to auburn in the glass and moderate in strength, it remains the flagship of the cask range. Ranked by flavour match rather than popularity.
