Iron Pier

Iron Pier Bitter captures the quintessential sessionability of an Ordinary Bitter, presenting a delicate yet structured malt base defined by notes of golden honey and rich toffee. This sweetness provides a smooth counterpoint to the herbal and spicy hop character typical of the traditional English hops used in the boil. The aroma carries a light biscuity toastiness alongside a touch of fruity esters from the characterful yeast. Despite its modest alcohol content, it maintains a firm, clean bitterness that leads into a crisp, dry finish. It is a quintessentially balanced British ale where drinkability is paramount, offering a nuanced and refreshing sensory experience.
