Standard-Ordinary Bitter 4.5 º

Away Days Brewing Co.

This Best Bitter presents a masterclass in English sessionability, anchored by a soft, toasty foundation of Maris Otter malt that evokes notes of biscuit and light honey. The hop profile is a quintessential British tradition; East Kent Golding contributes a sophisticated layer of earthy spice and resinous herbs, while late additions of Challenger hops introduce delicate floral aromas alongside nuances of orange marmalade and subtle stone fruit. Defined by its quaffable nature, the beer balances an assertive, palate-cleansing bitterness with a crisp, dry finish. It remains flavorful and refreshing, showcasing a harmonious interplay between heritage grains and classic hops.

Appearance. Pale amber to medium copper in color (10–14 SRM). Displays brilliant clarity beneath a low to moderate off-white head with fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a bready and biscuity malt character from the Maris Otter, complemented by a light honey sweetness. The hop aroma is distinctly English, showing earthy spice, resin, and a floral lift with hints of marmalade and stone fruit esters.

Taste. The initial impression is driven by a firm bitterness that is well-supported by a toasty, bready malt backbone. Flavors of earthy resin and herbal spice from East Kent Golding transition into a fruity mid-palate of orange marmalade and dried stone fruit. The balance is decidedly bitter, leading to a clean, dry, and lingering bitter finish.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light to medium body with moderate carbonation. It possesses a smooth texture without any astringency, and the low alcohol content provides no perceived warmth.
