This golden bitter uses fresh Cascade hops in modest amounts to create a more subtle hop flavor and bitterness than its big brother, Hammerhead. Nebraska Bitter was first brewed at the Fulton Pub & Brewery, located in Southwest Portland. This crisp and flavorful ale has become a standard attraction at McMenamin's taps everywhere. Malts: Pale Malt; 40L Crystal Malt Hops: Cascade

    An average unassuming bitter. Slightly fruity and herbal, with low aromatics and bitterness. Per the style not really a ton going on - does little to stand out.

    What is so special about Nebraska that an Oregonian brewer would name a beer after it. It's not even that good of a beer (not that Nebraska is that good of a state). I expect my bitters to be a reddish colour, clear, with some sweet butterscoth tones and citrusy notes. This is clear yellow, weak malt and decent hops. Not what a bitter should be.

    Not much aroma but everything else was pretty good. Nice gold color and well balanced malted hop flavor. A little bit of white lacing. Crisp and clean, an easy drinking beer.

    I drank three of these in Tigard, Oregon where they were as fresh as could be and they are awesome. The brew pub was called John Barleycorns. Absolute class act.

    Medium orange color. Aroma is malty and fruity. A medium bodied bitter. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are slightly bitter. Very mild flavors, more sweet than bitter, but still a decent drinkable bitter. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

    clear, golden, more sour than bitter, this wasn’t too good. Had it at McMenamin’s Kennedy School

    Served at Thompsons Brewpub,Salem Gold in clour, looks more like a golden ale than a trad. bitter. Very lackluster aroma, some hops maybe. Not a very exciting taste, some malt sweetness to begin then the cascade hops show through in the end. Rather easy to drink but sort of boring.
