Manx Bitter

Another pint in the Bow Bar, another beer from far away – Isle of Mann this time, in the form of this pleasant bitter. Initial taste reveals background melon flavours, followed by the expected bitterness, and the somewhat less expected cigar notes. The aftertaste is long and dry, with a lingering bitterness detectable long after in the rear of the mouth.
