This beer has no similarity to the beer of the same name that used to be brewed in Leeds. It's not even bitter, having, to my taste, a thin, watery, underwhelming, slightly sweet flavour. And before anyone comments on my ageing taste buds, let me just say that Black Sheep Bitter still tastes to me as bitter and characterful as when I first drank it. (Perhaps they're putting more hops in nowadays, to help preserve the youthful delusions of old fogeys like me - if so, thanks very much.)
