Anchor Bitter
Anchor Bitter is a chestnut coloured British ale of 4.0% from Cliff Quay. The aroma is fruity with a citrus edge, and the palate brings more fruit with a hint of roasted malt. A bitter-sweet balance holds the flavours together through to the finish. The beer has been part of the Cliff Quay line-up since the early years in Ipswich and still appears on cask in East Anglia.
