Perennial Artisan Ales Sugar Bear
Standard-Ordinary Bitter 3.8 º
This American-influenced Ordinary Bitter showcases a heritage malt foundation of Maris Otter and Crystal Malt, delivering a quintessential bready and lightly toasted base. The addition of Spelt introduces a subtle nutty depth and a softened texture, while Cashmere hops provide a modern twist. Expect a sensory profile defined by hop-dusted strawberry fruit leather and soft melon, interwoven with the biscuit-like sweetness of English grain. At a sessionable strength, this ale balances a firm hop bitterness with a clean, dry finish, making it exceptionally drinkable while maintaining a complex, fruit-forward aromatic profile that distinguishes it from traditional examples.
Appearance. Pale amber to light copper (8–12 SRM). Brilliant clarity with a low to moderate off-white head that displays fair retention.
Aroma. Moderate malt intensity with bready, biscuity, and light caramel notes. The Cashmere hops contribute a unique fruitiness of strawberry and citrus over light herbal undertones. Moderate fruity esters are present, blending with the toasty malt character.
Taste. Medium bitterness that leads the palate but is supported by a bready Maris Otter malt flavor and light toffee from Crystal Malt. The hop flavor is moderate, leaning toward red berries and subtle melon. The finish is dry and crisp with a clean, lingering toasted grain aftertaste and no harshness.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a slightly creamy texture from the spelt. Carbonation is moderate, providing a gentle prickle. No alcohol warmth is perceived.
