Centuries ago in Britain, the Ale Conner traveled the countryside examining the worth and measure of each local ale. Conners Best Bitter exceeds those high standards with its robust hop aroma and lip licking just right bitter bite. Brewed in the traditional style of an English bitter, you'll be pleased by what you see and what you taste.

[1] Review by pootz from between Calgary and Waterloo, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (8/8/2005 8:48:38 PM)
"Bottled: Poured a slightly hazey orange-gold. Nice foamy 1 finger head with medim retention that reduces to a thick surface capping lace. Nose of sweet malts and floral hops...not overstated, Medium carbonation. Starts tart with a sandy mouthfeel then builds to a medium body where the roasty malts balance off against slightly medicinal hopping, The finish is bready with a nice medium bittering bite to it. A well rounded english style ESB. Others have said this ale took a dive after Brick took it on from Conners...I have no way of telling that. However, as good and well rounded as I found this ale to be, there is an oddity to this ale ...it leaves me with a good impression but a nagging feeling that it still lacks a small something....possibly more floral hopping or some fruity tones from different yeast.. that could make it a great ESB...whatever. It is still one of the better ales available in bottles in Ontario and I’d never turn one down. It’s the closest I’ve tasted to a Canadian version of Anchor Liberty....but it lacks some undefinable something to kick it up into that class of ales ."

[2] Review by biegaman from Toronto, Canada who has tried this beer many times. (6/29/2005 8:54:36 PM)
"Originally brewed by Conners, then bought out by Brick. This is a good bitter, nothing extravegant, but certainly a good taste and overall beer. I would say its a good beer to keep in the house for habitual bitter fans. "

[3] Review by Chopz from Cantley, Canada who has tried this beer a couple times. (5/1/2005 5:49:58 PM)
"Bought a 12 pack of this brew. Comes in stubbies. Pours a medium-light amber colour with a decent white head. Carbonation is lively and lacing is nice and thick. The aroma is mostly malty, but has a slight flower scent to it. The taste is mildly bitter in the middle and then goes into a smooth breaded finish with hints of fruits. Drinkability on this one is great. Nothing crazy special about this bitter, but would drink it again."
