Exeter Brewery County Best
Extra-Strong Bitter 4.6 º
County Best presents as a quintessential Strong Bitter, showcasing the traditional character of locally sourced floor-malted barley. This premium ale offers a deep amber hue and a harmonious balance of rich malt sweetness and vibrant fruit esters. The aroma invites with a blend of biscuity malt and subtle earthy hop notes, typical of high-quality English hops. On the palate, it delivers a satisfyingly full texture for its strength, evolving from a malty-sweet opening into a complex bitter-sweet finish. Its cask-conditioned nature ensures a smooth, refined mouthfeel, emphasizing the heritage of West Country brewing through its clean fermentation and expressive malt profile.
Appearance. Deep amber color (approximately 14 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderate, creamy off-white head that demonstrates good retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity with a medium-high malt aroma featuring bready, biscuity, and light caramel notes derived from the floor-malted barley. Complemented by moderate-low earthy and floral hop character and medium-low fruity esters.
Taste. Initial malt-driven impression of toasted bread, nuts, and a hint of toffee. Hop bitterness is medium-high, providing a firm counterpoint to the malt sweetness. Hop flavor is floral and earthy. The balance is bitter-sweet, transitioning into a medium-dry finish with a lingering malt and hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture indicative of a cask-conditioned ale. Carbonation is low to moderate, and there is no perceived alcohol warmth.
