Beretta
An English special bitter, red amber in the glass and dry through the middle. Crystal malt supplies toffee, biscuit and a light dried fruit note, and English hops answer with earthy, herbal bitterness rather than citrus. The body is medium and the carbonation soft, which suits a beer meant to be taken by the pint. It closes dry and bitter, the caramel receding quickly and leaving the hop behind.
