Bitter, like that lesbian cousin you avoid at Xmas

This isn't that bitter. It's good, but it's not a nasty bitter like I remember a bitter being. That said it's got a good body, a lush colour and a rich maltiness that I would expect. I've whacked two of these together. The first I did as a toucan with a basic draught. It surprised me with it's goodness. The second time I was more scientific; The can, a 1.5kg of liquid amber malt, a US56, a good dose of Saaz in the boil. Dry hopped with more saaz for 3 days. A good result, next time however I'll skip the dry hopping; definitely one to age probably best after 4 months.
