This deliciously, lighter style British bitter took 2nd place at the 2009 Garrison Brewery Brew-Off'. This is impressive considering it is an extract based recipe competing against many all grain bitters. It is light in colour with moderate bitterness and a distinct grassy aroma. Delicious bitter to enjoy through the summer months.

Review
I wasn't really sure to expect from this beer as I haven't drank many bitters in the past. It was a bit too carbonated for my liking. I believe I used 3/4 cups of priming sugar but I can't remember. The beer was also a bit heavy compared to other bitters I've had, however the flavour was fantastic.
Rating
7/10
