Our First Impressions on the first sample of Frothingham Best
One thing you’ll know for sure is that this beer certainly lives up to its name! The piercing of air released from ejecting the cap from the bottle releases the first amount of froth, followed by a lengthy amount of froth stranded within the glass. This approachable best bitter pours with a deep amber hue with a well-rounded head that sticks to the glass remarkably.
From the very first sip, it was clear this beer achieves truth to style. It’s an all rounded, well-balanced bitter with just the perfect amount of malt sweetness and a satisfying, earthy hop character that lingers sensationally on the palate.
Frothingham Best Bitter, also resembles being one of those beers that is honoured in a rustic country pub after a long day’s walk.
Tasting Notes of Frothingham Best from Our Connoisseur’s
- Appearance: Your traditional Best Bitter style, a deep amber hue. Furthermore the lacing from the beer is impeccable. The latching of froth sticking to the beer to the glass is rewarding.
- Aroma: Imagine picking up that pint of one of the finest favourite Best Bitters in your local pub and you’re greeted by sweetness and bitterness, you’ll be able to easily tell you’re onto a winner.
- Flavour: There are only two words to explain this British Bitter, it’s classical and legendary. The bitterness is stabilized and not too overpowering meaning that Frothingham Best is suited all year round. Leading on from this, everything connected in the glass, malt, hops and the overall flavour melds together so nicely.
