Camerons Best Bitter

Tap to rate

A classic best bitter at 3.9 %. Gentle aromas of toasted malt, biscuit and light caramel lead into earthy hop bitterness and a touch of toffee sweetness, and the finish is dry. It is smooth and balanced on the palate, easy to drink, with a mild, pleasantly dry aftertaste, and in the first half of October it was out on cask and draught.
