This annual harvest collaboration celebrates the English growing season, delivering a vivid sensory experience within the framework of an Ordinary Bitter. Freshly picked East Kent Goldings from the Harewood walled garden provide a high-intensity aroma of damp earth, meadow flowers, and a unique resinous 'green' hop snap. The malt backbone is soft and inviting, layering notes of freshly baked bread and toasted biscuits. Moderate fruity esters from the house fermentation complement the herbal hop profile. Though robust in strength for the style, it remains exceptionally quaffable, finishing with a firm, clean bitterness and a crisp, dry lingering presence.
Appearance.Pale amber to light copper (8-12 SRM). Clear to brilliant clarity with a moderate, off-white head that shows decent retention and light lacing.
Aroma.High-intensity hop aroma featuring dominant earthy, floral, and spicy notes from fresh East Kent Goldings. Moderate malt complexity with bready and biscuity qualities. Light fruity esters are present, with no diacetyl.
Taste.Decidedly bitter balance with a medium-high hop bitterness. Hop flavors are earthy and floral with a distinctively fresh, resinous character. The malt profile is moderately low, providing a bready, toasted foundation. Moderate fruity esters lead into a clean, dry finish with a lingering bitterness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a soft, quaffable texture. Carbonation is moderate. Displays light alcohol warmth that is well-integrated, with no perceived astringency.
