Brouwerij EemBier Second Symphony
Standard-Ordinary Bitter 5.6 º
Second Symphony presents a classic English profile, leading with the inviting scents of toasted biscuits and subtle toffee derived from a base of Pale Ale and Crystal malts. This Best Bitter balances a firm, earthy hop presence with delicate fruity esters typical of traditional British fermentation. The palate follows with a crisp, bready malt foundation that transitions into a refreshing, decidedly bitter finish. Despite its slightly elevated strength for the style, it maintains excellent drinkability, showcasing a harmonious interplay between light caramel sweetness and resinous floral hop notes. It remains a quintessential, sensory-driven representation of the traditional English pub ale experience.
Appearance. Pale amber to medium copper (10–14 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a moderate, creamy off-white head that demonstrates fair retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a bready and biscuity malt character with faint hints of caramel. Low to moderate fruity esters suggestive of pear or apple. Hop aroma is moderate and distinctly earthy and floral.
Taste. Initial bready malt sweetness quickly meets a medium-high hop bitterness. Flavors of toasted bread and light toffee are supported by earthy and slightly spicy hop notes. The finish is dry and crisp with a lingering, pleasant bitterness and subtle fruity fermentation character.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate carbonation. The alcohol presence is well-integrated and subtle for its strength, providing a smooth texture without harshness or significant astringency.
