Saltaire Best
A traditional best bitter that sits above Titus in strength and body, brewed entirely with British ingredients. Wheat and crystal malt plus roasted barley make up the grist; Admiral, Challenger and Goldings provide the hopping. It pours a crystal-clear chestnut brown. The aroma is fruity and slightly nutty with a marmalade note. On the palate a rich malty backbone carries spicy, lightly roasted flavours, balanced by orange-like hop fruit and a subtle sweet spice. Mainly a cask beer, occasionally found in bottle.
