Phipps NBC Diamond Ale
English Pale Ale 3.7 º
Phipps NBC Diamond Ale is a revitalized Victorian-era Ordinary Bitter that prioritizes refreshment and heritage. It leads with a delicate interplay of earthy and floral Kent hops, which provide a firm but approachable bitterness over a foundational malt base of Maris Otter, Pale Ale, and Crystal malts. The sensory experience is defined by a light amber hue and aromas of biscuity grain and toasted bread. On the palate, expect a dry, clean finish with subtle fruity esters and a nutty, caramel undertone. This session-strength ale captures the bright and sparkling Burton-influenced character intended for replenishing thirst after manual labor.
Appearance. Light amber to pale copper in color (8–12 SRM). Displays brilliant clarity. Produces a moderate, off-white head with fair retention and light lacing, typical of the historic bright and sparkling style.
Aroma. Moderate aroma intensity. The malt profile is characterized by bready and biscuity notes from the Maris Otter, complemented by a light caramel sweetness. Hop aroma is moderate, showing the classic earthy, floral, and slightly spicy notes of Kent hops. Low fruity esters are present, reminiscent of dried orchard fruit.
Taste. Initial impression is one of crisp malt followed by a prompt, assertive bitterness. The flavor profile features toasted bread, nutty malt character, and a touch of toffee from Crystal malts. Kent hops contribute an earthy, herbal, and floral flavor. Bitterness is medium-high and remains balanced. The finish is notably dry and clean with a lingering herbal hop aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate, providing a bright and refreshing mouthfeel as per the historic intent. No detectable alcohol warmth or astringency.
