Standard-Ordinary Bitter 0 º

GROSS

Designed for the Etxeberria pub in San Sebastian, GROSS Elegante is a refined take on the classic Best Bitter style. It emphasizes a sophisticated malt backbone of toasted biscuit and bready notes, layered with a subtle caramel sweetness. The sensory experience is defined by a firm but approachable hop bitterness that carries earthy and floral qualities through to a crisp, dry finish. Delicate fruity esters provide a touch of complexity, ensuring high drinkability. This sessionable ale balances its moderate bitterness with a clean malt profile, staying true to traditional English pub traditions while offering a modern, elegant character.

Appearance. Pours a brilliant pale amber to medium copper color. It is topped by a low to moderate off-white head with good clarity and fair lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a focus on bready and biscuity malt complexity. Low caramel sweetness is present alongside a moderate earthy and floral hop character. Mild fruity esters like pear or apple are detectable in the background.

Taste. Initial bready and toasty malt flavors lead into a moderately high bitterness. The hop flavor is moderate, leaning toward earthy and resiny notes. It features a decidedly bitter balance that does not overwhelm the malt, finishing clean and very dry with lingering hop bitterness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. It possesses a smooth, refreshing texture with absolutely no alcohol warmth and no notable astringency.
