Lincoln Green’s Longbow elevates the traditional British Ordinary Bitter by infusing it with punchy New Zealand hops. Despite its heritage as a classic pale ale, this iteration delivers an intensified sensory experience where tropical and citrus hop notes take center stage. The malt backbone provides a supporting role with gentle bready and light caramel nuances, creating a canvas for the vibrant New Zealand hop character. It maintains the drinkability expected of the style but with a modern, fruit-forward aromatic profile that distinguishes it from more earthy predecessors. The result is a crisp, refreshing, and decidedly bitter ale that bridges traditional British brewing with Southern Hemisphere flair.
