Best Bitter is also known as Special Bitter or sometimes Premium Bitter. The flavour is largely similar to Ordinary Bitter, but with greater alcoholic strength and, with some brands, a higher level of hop flavour and aroma. There is low to medium maltiness with a dry finish. Caramel flavours are common but not required.

Commercial examples: Fuller's London Pride, Adnams Southwold Bitter, Timothy Taylor Landlord
