Dark star partridge

I tried this at the Angel and Crown in Covent Garden, on a recent trip to London.  It is produced by micro brewer Dark Star, who are based in Partridge Green, west Sussex.

Dark Star is a best bitter, and it's a very good example of how a best bitter should be. It's an excellent amber colour, with a clean hoppy aroma and biting bitter taste.

Unfortunately, I hate bitters so this will mean a low score.  Although I would add that if you love a properly made, ideal strength best bitter (4%) then this is definitely for you.

Appearance: 7
Aroma: 6
Taste: 6

Overall: 19/30
