This straw-colored Ordinary Bitter presents a refreshing, modern interpretation of a classic British style. The sensory profile is defined by a delicate balance of light, bready malt and an unusually vibrant fruit character, featuring distinct notes of strawberry and stone fruit. These esters provide a succulent counterpoint to the firm, assertive bitterness that anchors the experience. Despite its pale appearance and approachable 4.5% ABV, it retains the crisp, dry finish essential to the style. The result is a highly sessionable ale where the fruity nuances are seamlessly integrated into a traditional, earthy hop foundation, making it both complex and thirst-quenching.
Appearance.Pale straw to light gold (approx. 5-7 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a moderate white head that exhibits fair retention and light, delicate lacing.
Aroma.Moderate intensity with a clean, bready and slightly crackery malt character. Pronounced fruity esters are present, specifically suggesting ripe strawberry and soft stone fruits like peach. Hop aroma is low to moderate, offering floral and light earthy notes.
Taste.Initial impression of light, biscuity malt quickly gives way to a medium-high bitterness. Flavors of strawberry and summer stone fruits are prominent, supported by a subtle, resinous hop character. The balance is decidedly bitter yet refined, concluding with a very dry, crisp finish and a clean, short aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, refreshing texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a lively prickle on the palate. Alcohol warmth is negligible, contributing to a high level of drinkability.
