Standard-Ordinary Bitter 3.8 º

Half Moon Brewery

Old Forge is a quintessential British session ale that presents a brilliant amber hue and a delicate sensory profile. At a modest 3.8% ABV, this Ordinary Bitter balances a gentle honeyed malt sweetness with a distinctive soft spiced lemon hop character. The aroma is invitingly bready, reflecting a classic English malt base, while the palate remains light and exceedingly drinkable. The interaction between the subtle esters and the earthy, citrusy hop notes provides a refined complexity. It finishes dry and crisp, showcasing a firm but approachable bitterness that invites another sip, embodying the tradition of a well-crafted cask-style ale.
