Best

An alcohol-free amber ale in the British best bitter tradition, malt-forward with biscuit and caramel balanced by earthy English hop bitterness.

About This Drink

Best sits in the amber ale bracket and wears its British heritage without any fuss. The malt bill of Maris Otter and Amber malts with a grist of oats gives it a smooth, rounded body with warm biscuit and soft toffee character. English Goldings hops provide earthy, floral balance rather than forward bitterness. The pour is a rich amber with an off-white head. On the nose you get biscuit malt, light caramel, and a faint whiff of orchard fruit. The palate follows through cleanly: gentle caramel depth, a hint of nuttiness, and enough hop presence to keep things grounded without veering bitter. The finish is clean and easy. This is one of the more convincing alcohol-free takes on a session bitter style, the kind of thing that holds its own in a round.
