    Really good!

    This is a decent brew. Not to bitter not sweet and not to strong. A great beer just to sit back and relax with.

    Bloody nice pint!

    As a Yorkshireman I’ve tried a few Bitters in my time and this one is definitely up there. I bought this as my first Mr Beer / Coopers 5 gallon (albeit US gallon) kit and I am highly delighted with it. I bottled 44 Grolsch style bottles. I gave it 2 weeks to carbonate and it turned out fantastic. The head when poured didn’t last too long but then again it was from a bottle and not a beer pump with a sparkler. The flavour was superb with a great colour too.I will definitely be getting this one again but with so many to choose from and try I don’t know when.

    Coopers English Bitter

    Excellent base to build brown ales and also mid strength traditional beers. Good head retention regardless of ABV. Coopers is my go to brand.
