Standard-Ordinary Bitter 4.3 º

Newbarns Brewery

This collaborative Best Bitter captures the essence of spring with a vibrant, sessionable character. A foundational malt profile of toasted biscuit and soft bread crust provides a sturdy base for the assertive bitterness. Expect delicate floral and earthy hop notes to intertwine with a faint orchard fruit ester profile, characteristic of a traditional British yeast strain. The balance is decidedly bitter yet remains highly drinkable, finishing crisp and dry. At 4.3% ABV, it embodies the classic pub ale spirit—refreshing, nuanced, and structurally sound, making it an ideal companion for the transition into warmer weather and long sessions.

Appearance. Pale amber to light copper in color (10-12 SRM) with brilliant clarity. It produces a moderate, creamy off-white head with good retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a bready and lightly toasted biscuit malt character. Subtle notes of caramel are present, complemented by low fruity esters reminiscent of red apple. The hop aroma is moderate, leaning toward earthy and floral notes.

Taste. The initial impression is defined by clean, biscuity malt followed quickly by a medium-high hop bitterness. Flavors of dried herbs and earth provide a traditional counterpoint to the malt. Low fruity esters add complexity to the mid-palate, while the balance remains decidedly bitter through to a crisp, dry finish with a lingering earthy aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. The texture is smooth and highly drinkable with a subtle hint of alcohol warmth and no perceptible astringency.
