English Pale Ale 4.2 º

Half Moon Brewery

This Ordinary Bitter offers a refreshing session experience, balancing traditional British structures with vibrant hop influences. A foundational base of bready and biscuity malts provides a smooth, balanced mouthfeel, supporting an initial firm bitterness. Distinctive bursts of gooseberry, blackcurrant, and grapefruit emerge, lending a modern fruitiness to the classic earthy and floral profile. The finish is crisp and dry, highlighting the drinkability central to the style. Despite the modest ABV, it retains a complex sensory interplay between light caramel sweetness and a lingering fruity resonance, making it an quintessential easy-drinking pale ale for casual consumption.

Appearance. Pale amber to light copper (8–14 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a low to moderate off-white head that shows fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate malt intensity featuring bready and lightly toasty notes with a hint of caramel. Low earthy hop character is secondary to pronounced fruity esters and hop-derived aromas of gooseberry and blackcurrant.

Taste. Initial medium-high bitterness is immediately followed by a bready and biscuity malt flavor. Mid-palate features fruit bursts of grapefruit and blackcurrant. The balance is decidedly bitter but supported by the malt, leading to a dry, clean finish with a lingering fruity aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. Smooth texture with no astringency and very low alcohol warmth, emphasizing high drinkability.
