This sessionable Ordinary Bitter showcases a modern twist through the heavy use of Mosaic hops. It opens with an inviting bouquet of mango and bright citrus, grounded by a classic English bready malt backbone. On the palate, the Mosaic variety provides layers of lemon zest and resinous pine, which integrate with the style’s characteristic moderate bitterness. Though it leans toward a contemporary fruity pale ale profile, it retains the drinkable, light-bodied soul of a traditional bitter. The finish is crisp and dry, leaving a lingering impression of tropical fruit and floral hops, making it an exceptionally balanced and approachable pint.
Appearance.Pale amber to light copper with brilliant clarity. It produces a low to moderate off-white head with fair retention that leaves light lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Moderate aroma intensity led by Mosaic hops, providing distinct notes of mango, lemon, and a touch of resinous pine. Beneath the hops lies a light bready and toasty malt character with subtle fruity esters.
