Unlike some I put my beer somewhere cool to condition, it takes a little longer but does become crystal and bright. While the bitter has been conditioning for some time the Nancy Naylor has had only 10 days of conditioning but will become clear, one of the previous batch.Perfect, @foxy . The first pint is poured perfectly and is crystal clear. The next is a little bit cloudy as caution is thrown to the wind. I'd like to see the 3rd and 4th pourings as a happy sentiment of WTF begins to settle in.

What's Boston Bitter?
Boston Bitter is a really pleasant bitter, full title Poes Boston Bitter after Edgar Alan Poe who died at age 40 of alcoholic poisoning, I did read somewhere that Mark Twain's favourite ale was Bass, though Poe's time line is slightly earlier he could have been drinking Bass IPA (which would have been fairly strong in his day) in preference to the pumpkin ales the colonials were making. A Bass clone is another I have conditioning at the moment.
