Hawkshead Brewery Bitter
Standard-Ordinary Bitter 3.7 º
This sessionable Ordinary Bitter showcases a refined balance of traditional British craftsmanship and vibrant Slovenian Celeia hops. The sensory profile is led by a distinctive elderflower aroma, a signature of the Celeia variety, which is elegantly woven into a background of light bready and biscuity malts. Its pale copper body is remarkably approachable, delivering a firm hop bitterness that remains crisp and refreshing throughout. With its low alcohol presence, the beer emphasizes extreme drinkability, showcasing a subtle interplay of earthy resin and delicate floral esters. The finish is decidedly dry and cleansing, making it a quintessential session ale with a bright, modern hop lift.
Appearance. Pale amber to light copper (approx. 10-12 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Displays a low, white head with fair retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a bready and lightly toasty malt character with a hint of caramel. Distinctive floral and elderflower hop notes are prominent, supported by low to moderate fruity esters and a touch of earthiness.
Taste. Initial impression is characterized by a firm hop bitterness balanced against a low to medium bready and biscuity maltiness. Hop flavors of elderflower, floral blossom, and light resin are evident. The balance is decidedly bitter but not harsh, leading to a crisp, dry, and lingering aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with moderate to low carbonation. No alcohol warmth is perceived, and the beer is smooth with no astringency.
