Himitsu My Favourite Bitter : Appearance
Deep ruby brown colour with a thin off-white head that dissipated into a few bubbles around the edge of the glass.
Himitsu My Favourite Bitter : Aroma
All malt aroma with lashings of amber sugar sweetness and chocolate notes with a hint of yeast funk going on. When it had warmed up, some earthy notes appeared, guessing from whatever hops were used in it.
Himitsu My Favourite Bitter : Taste
Light to medium bitterness but not as strong as an American pale ale or IPA. Smooth malt flavour of caramel and chocolate with hints of nuttiness as it warms up. Slight yeast notes in the body
Himitsu My Favourite Bitter : The Bottom Line
Himitsu My Favourite Bitter is a solid introduction into English bitters and I hope it becomes an all-year round option, or at least a seasonal offering.
