Bitter - First tasting.


I am having the first taste of my bitter today, only a week after bottling and three weeks after brewing. It is nice to do a batch with a shorter maturation period after the several in a row month long plus brews that I have been doing.
In the glass this beer is a vibrant copper color. Little head, but that is fine by me. I don't think you would get a big head from a bitter unless it was nitro'ed or real cask ale. Little carbonation, just enough to feel.
As for taste... This beer is definitely better at cellar temps or around 50 degrees. The second glass had a much better and brighter taste. Nice light malt and caramel sweetness, a light amount of bitterness, floral hop bouquet both in the nose and in flavor. Nice light moderately lingering finish of caramel and malt.
Entirely too drinkable!
