Description
In a nutshell:
Classic British Best Bitter with a balanced malty sweetness and a satisfying hop kick you'd expect from a proper Sussex ale.
The lowdown:
Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter is a proper bitter. Brewed since 1955, it embodies that post-war return to sensible gravities. None of that wishy-washy stuff here. Lovely balance of biscuit malt and a good, firm hop bitterness that lingers politely. There's an air of freshly baked bread about it, with a hint of the Sussex countryside. A beer that's earned its title as the 'Beer of Sussex'. Nothing flashy, but a steady, reliable companion of an ale.
The Brewery:
Tucked away in Lewes, deep into Sussex, Harvey's have been brewing for eight generations. From their traditional brewery in the heart of the town it's obvious their roots lie in a much earlier age. Nonetheless they've consummately managed to navigate the modern world with their time-tested brewing methods. Their beers lean towards the traditional. There's their Best Bitter, which does precisely what it advertises - delivering a rather agreeable pint. And if you're in the mood for something darker, their Old Ale is a proper winter warmer with just the right amount of depth. In a world of ever-changing craft beer trends and more hops than you can shake a stick at, Harvey's offers a certain old-school charm and there's something reassuring in their steadfast dedication to well-made, unfussy brews.
Style - Traditional Bitter ABV 4.0% - Moderate Strength
