Thumbs up Hawkshead Bitter

Last night I went over someone’s house that had a keg of Hawkshead Bitter that was not meant for export. This is a real British pub beer with 3.7% alcohol and from a hand pump system in his bar. This keg was a gift for some technical assistance he lent at a beer show in Cambridge.

This cask ale is a pale, hoppy and bitter ale: a slight elderflower aroma from Slovenian "Celeia" hops, followed by long bitterness. A great session bitter. *CAMRA Champion Bitter of Cumbria 2009*

I can’t understand why Americans aren’t drinking like this? Flavorful, never filling, doesn’t get you trashed (that is the reason), and can be enjoyed at near room temperature.
