The bitter was bitter. The amount of bitter that the bitter was varied it seemed from week to week. Some days it seemed overly bitter. Some days a mild bitter. Overall it was good. I will say that the bitter was the best looking beer I ever made. It had the perfect golden/light red hue and a lovely head. It seemed perfectly clear. It seemed to clear up more and more the older it got.
One more thing on the bitter. The yeast seemed to gather on the top. So when the beer ran out, the last glass of beer was greeted with chunks. That's the first time I can remember yeast actually accumulating on the the top of the beer.
The cider fermented very well. It came out very dry and gave a slightly tart taste to it. I really liked it. It doesn't seem to popular to too many people but I will say that it appears to get better with age and the number of people that like it grows the older the cider gets. I now have two bottles, a carbonated and an uncarbonated. I'd like to wait until Christmas to drink them. We'll see if they make it that long.
