Tetley's Original Bitter

◎ Aussehen

Tetley's Original Bitter presents a clear, warm amber hue with good translucency. The head forms steadily and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is moderate and even, typical of a well-conditioned cask ale.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with soft toffee and orchard fruit notes, particularly green apple and ripe apple skin. Gentle Malz character provides a toasted grain foundation without dominating. Low but distinct Edelhopfen spice rounds out the bouquet with restrained herbal and earthy undertones.

◐ Geschmack

Entry presents a balanced interplay of sweet toffee-apple and crisp dry bitterness. Mid-palate reveals biscuit and light caramel from the Malz, which sits comfortably against a steady but not aggressive hop bitterness. The body is medium and satisfying without heaviness.

◑ Abgang

The finish extends with a pronounced dry character, as the initial sweetness recedes and hop bitterness lingers pleasantly on the palate. Aftertaste remains clean and slightly astringent, inviting the next sip.
