English Pale Ale 4.5 º

Magpie Brewery

This Ordinary Bitter showcases the classic interplay of heritage ingredients with a modern, pale clarity. The 100% Maris Otter malt provides a foundational light biscuit note that remains lean and crisp on the palate. Classic British hops introduce a delicate floral aroma and a refined earthy character that perfectly balances the bready malt core. Despite its slightly elevated 4.5% ABV for the style, it maintains a sessionable character with a firm, refreshing bitterness. Expect a bright, super pale appearance and a dry, clean finish that emphasizes drinkability, making it a quintessential example of a traditional yet vibrant golden-hued bitter.

Appearance. Super pale gold to light amber (5–8 SRM); brilliant clarity; moderate white head with fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity; primary notes of toasted biscuit and bready malt from the Maris Otter grist; moderate floral and earthy hop presence; low fruity esters typical of British yeast; no diacetyl.

Taste. Initial impression of crisp, bready malt followed by a moderate floral hop flavor. Firm bitterness provides a decidedly bitter balance against the light biscuit malt profile. Clean fermentation with subtle hints of orchard fruit esters. Finishes dry and refreshing with a lingering, clean earthy hop aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body; moderate carbonation; very low alcohol warmth; smooth texture without astringency.
