Landmark is a quintessential Best Bitter that masterfully balances sessionability with a robust malt backbone. This amber-hued ale opens with an inviting aroma of bready, biscuity malts and a light touch of caramel, accented by traditional earthy and floral hop notes. The palate is defined by what the brewer describes as juicy sweet malt notes, providing a rich, moreish foundation that never feels heavy. A characterful British yeast strain contributes subtle fruity esters, while the 4.6% ABV provides a sturdy structure. It concludes with a signature smooth bitter finish that cleanses the palate, inviting another sip of this classic British session ale.
Appearance.Medium copper to pale amber in color (10-14 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a low to moderate off-white head that shows decent retention and light lacing.
Aroma.Moderate intensity featuring a bready and biscuity malt core with light caramel undertones. The hop character is moderately low, displaying earthy and floral qualities. Low fruity esters are present, typical of a British ale yeast.
Taste.Initial impression is of juicy malt sweetness followed by flavors of biscuit and toasted bread. Medium-high bitterness provides a firm balance against the malt without being harsh. Hop flavors are earthy and slightly resiny. The finish is smooth and dry with a lingering, pleasant bitterness and subtle toffee notes in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light to medium body with moderate carbonation. Smooth on the palate with no astringency and a very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
