Kinver Brewery Half Centurion is a luminous pale premium bitter brewed to celebrate the 50th birthdays of the brewery's founders. This commemorative ale bridges the gap between classic sessionability and celebratory strength. The aroma opens with an inviting blend of Pale ale malt providing a bready base for a pronounced citrus hop character, reminiscent of lemon zest and floral meadows. On the palate, a medium-high bitterness provides a firm structure, balancing the light toasted malt flavors. This beer drinks exceptionally clean with a dry, refreshing finish. While rooted in the Ordinary Bitter tradition, its five percent ABV provides a fuller presence and a subtle, well-integrated warmth, making for a sophisticated and highly drinkable celebratory ale.
