IanAcceptable21 Apr 2007 First Young's Bitter in a Young's pub since the move of brewing to Bedford. It's a bit unintegrated. The water, yeast and malt all appear to be separate ingredients. Hop finish is good though. Still one of my favourite standard bitter but this pint was odd.

joExcellent03 Mar 2008 Tight creamy head clung to glass well and served at 12 degrees in a branded glass. When informed I collect beer glasses the landlord made me a gift of a new one. Fantastic
AndrewExcellent25 Mar 2007 Excellent pint. Creamy but with a rounded bitterness to it and perfectly ballanced malt. When this stuff's good, it's really good.

AndrewExcellent28 May 2005 I'd heard rumours that Young's bitter was suppose to taste like this but never found a pint that did. This was a beautiful pale golden brown with a creamy and very hoppy taste to it. There was even a bit of malty depth. If only every pint of Young's tasted like this.
