Machine House Brewery captures the essence of a traditional English pub with this copper-hued Ordinary Bitter. At its heart lies a complex malt foundation, offering layers of toasted bread and subtle caramel. While remaining true to its British roots with earthy, floral English hops at the forefront, a thoughtful addition of Cascade hops provides a modern floral finesse that brightens the profile. This medium-bodied ale balances a firm bitterness against its bready core, leading to a remarkably clean, sessionable finish. It is a quintessential example of balance, where the heritage of English brewing meets a delicate hint of Pacific Northwest character.
Appearance.Rich copper color (SRM 12) with brilliant clarity. Features a low, creamy off-white head with modest retention, characteristic of the traditional cask-conditioned style.
Aroma.Moderate intensity featuring a bready and lightly toasty malt profile with hints of caramel. Hop aroma is moderate, led by earthy and floral English hops, complemented by a subtle grapefruit and citrus note from the Cascade. Low fruity esters are present.
Taste.Initial impression of biscuity malt and light toffee quickly gives way to a firm hop bitterness. Hop flavors are prominent, blending traditional herbal and earthy notes with a light citrus lift. Finishes dry and clean with a lingering but pleasant bitterness that encourages another sip.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a smooth, low carbonation level that enhances the malt's creaminess. No alcohol warmth and zero astringency, making for an exceptionally high drinkability.
