Standard-Ordinary Bitter 4 º

Milestone Brewery

Cromwell Bitter presents as a quintessential Ordinary Bitter, balancing sessionability with a distinct aromatic profile. This amber-hued ale opens with an inviting bouquet of toasted biscuit and soft caramel malts, accented by the earthy and floral notes characteristic of traditional English hops. The palate is defined by its well-rounded structure, where a base of bready malt supports moderate fruity esters before transitioning into a firm, crisp bitter finish. At 4% ABV, it maintains a light presence, offering a clean and refreshing experience that emphasizes the classic British balance between malt complexity and hop-forward refreshment.

Appearance. Medium amber to light copper in color (approximately 10-12 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Pours with a low to moderate off-white head that exhibits fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate aroma intensity featuring bready and toasted malt notes with a subtle caramel quality. Low to moderate earthy and floral hop character is supported by mild fruity esters, with no perceptible diacetyl.

Taste. Initial bready and biscuity malt flavors are met with a medium-high bitterness that defines the profile. Low to moderate earthy hop flavors and light pear-like esters provide complexity. The finish is decidedly dry and crisp, with a lingering clean bitterness and minimal malt sweetness.

Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with low to moderate carbonation typical of the style. The mouthfeel is smooth and lacks any astringency or alcohol warmth.
