Artabria Special Bitter
Artabria Special Bitter presents as a balanced Strong Bitter with a rich chestnut-gold hue. The sensory experience is defined by a sophisticated English hop profile featuring Pilgrim and Fuggles. High alpha-acid Pilgrim hops provide a structured bitterness accompanied by delicate aromas of green grass, fresh pear, and wild berries. This is complemented by the Fuggles variety, which imparts a signature earthy freshness and herbal depth. The dual-malt base provides a bready foundation that supports the assertive hop character, resulting in a sessionable yet complex ale that emphasizes traditional British garden fruit and forest notes with a clean, lingering finish.
Appearance. Amber to deep chestnut (10-15 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a moderate, off-white head that shows good retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Pronounced hop character featuring green grass, pear, and subtle forest fruits. The malt profile is medium-low, offering bready and lightly toasted notes. Low fruity esters are present, typical of English ale yeast.
Taste. Initial impression is a firm bitterness that remains pleasant. Hop flavors of earth, wild berries, and herbal spice are prominent. The malt provides a solid biscuity and toasty backbone to support the bitterness (30-50 IBU range). Finishes medium-dry with a lingering herbal and fruity aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Smooth texture with a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth. Minimal astringency.
