Cornish Best
Toffee and biscuit set the tone, with barley sugar, toffee apple, a peppery hop note and just a hint of bitterness in a full-bodied, well-balanced bitter. Maris Otter, crystal and black malt give a chestnut colour, hopped with Progress, Golding and Aurora. At only 3.4% it stays easy-drinking and sessionable, a traditional best bitter.
