This a traditional British style that has been lost on American brewers. This beer ours a nice light copper color, clear, with a thin foamy white cap. Aroma is bread, light caramel, some spicy hops, and yeast. Mouthfeel is average. Flavor is malty with a nice bitter finish. An easy drinking bitter!

bachelor bitter is now the tap, and bacheloe esb is the bottle, so this review is for tap only...a little lighter and smoother than in the bottle, so a noch up there, but it loses a touch of it's complexity.

22oz bottle. Medium amber color. Large white foamy head. Aroma is fruity, caramel and sweet. A medium bodied ESB/bitter. Malts are mild, hints of toffee, fruit and caramel. Kind of round and chewy. Not sure just what floor malts are but I think I like them. Hops are mild and slightly bitter. Mostly English style hops, but there is a touch of Pac NW hosp in there as well. Well balance bitter, Nice beer. Would make a great session ale. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

Served on tap at the Deshutes pub in central Bend( it is only served here,unlike the stronger Bachelor ESB). Quite good looking beer a coppery brown with a nice sized off white head. Quite a weak carmel aroma..though I think my nasal capacity had been worn out by now! Quite sweet at the start..slightly toffee like..then a small bitter ness. Very easy on my abused palate. Very drinkable..could drink this all day.
