Machine House Brewery Stinging Nettle Ale
This unique Amber Ale features hand-picked fresh Stinging Nettles, imparting a distinctively spicy and herbal soul to a traditional malty base. The profile is anchored by a bready, biscuit-like Maris Otter malt backbone typical of British-inspired ales. The nettles introduce earthy, tea-like nuances and a subtle peppery snap that melds seamlessly with a moderate hop bitterness. It offers an intriguing fusion of garden-fresh botanicals and rustic grain, resulting in a balanced, highly drinkable ale that celebrates seasonal foraging without overwhelming the delicate malt harmony. The finish is crisp with a lingering leafy complexity.
Appearance. Deep amber to light copper in color (SRM 12-15). Displays a creamy, off-white head with good retention and light lacing. Clarity is generally clear, though a very faint botanical haze may be present.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a complex blend of bready, toasted malt and a unique herbal character. The fresh Stinging Nettles provide an earthy, tea-like, and slightly peppery aroma. Low floral hop notes and subtle fruity esters complement the spicy vegetable profile.
Taste. Initial impression is of toasted bread and light caramel malt sweetness. The flavor of the nettles is distinct, offering a spicy, green, and herbal quality that replaces traditional hop flavors. Bitterness is moderate and well-balanced against the malt. The finish is dry to off-dry with a lingering herbal and spicy aftertaste that remains clean.
Mouthfeel. Medium body with moderate carbonation. Alcohol warmth is very low and well-integrated. Features a smooth texture with a very slight, pleasant herbal astringency that enhances the crispness of the finish.
