Hawkshead Brewery’s Jester Simcoe Pale presents a modern interpretation of a classic Ordinary Bitter, leaning into the golden ale territory with its bright, sessionable profile. This pale-hued ale showcases a bready, biscuity malt foundation that supports a vibrant hop character. The use of Jester hops imparts deep notes of stone fruit, while a generous dry-hopping of Simcoe adds layers of resinous pine and sharp citrus zest. Despite the contemporary hop profile, it maintains a traditional British Bitter structure with a decidedly crisp, bitter finish and balanced fruity esters. It is a refreshing, hop-forward take on a heritage session style.
Appearance.Luminous pale amber with brilliant clarity. Pours with a low, fine-textured off-white head that leaves light lacing on the glass.
Aroma.Moderate aroma intensity characterized by a blend of toasted biscuit malt and assertive hop notes. Simcoe provides distinct pine and citrus zest, while Jester offers subtle apricot and peach. Low fruity esters and a clean fermentation profile.
Taste.Initial bready malt sweetness quickly gives way to a moderately high bitterness. Flavors of resinous pine, grapefruit zest, and stone fruit from the Simcoe and Jester hops dominate the mid-palate. Finishes dry and clean with a lingering earthy, citrusy bitterness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. Smooth and highly drinkable with a very faint, well-integrated alcohol warmth and no astringency.
