Standard-Ordinary Bitter 3.7 º

Pilgrim Brewery

Pilgrim Brewery’s Surrey is a quintessentially sessionable Ordinary Bitter, pouring a clear amber that hints at its balanced composition. The sensory experience is led by a refined interplay of British and Continental hops, yielding earthy, floral, and subtle herbal notes that integrate seamlessly with a biscuity and lightly toasted malt backbone. Despite its modest 3.7% ABV, it provides a well-rounded palate, featuring moderate fruity esters and a clean, decidedly bitter finish. The emphasis remains on high drinkability, where the delicate caramel sweetness of the amber malts provides just enough support to keep the hop-forward character approachable and refreshing.

Appearance. Pale amber to light copper (approximately 10 SRM) with brilliant clarity. It features a low to moderate off-white head with fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate malt aroma displaying bready and biscuity notes with a light caramel undertone. Hop aroma is moderate, presenting a refined blend of earthy, floral, and slightly spicy notes. Low to moderate fruity esters are present, contributing a subtle orchard fruit quality.

Taste. The palate opens with dry, biscuity malt followed by a medium-high hop bitterness. Flavors of toasted bread and faint toffee are balanced by earthy and herbal hop character. The fermentation profile is clean with moderately low fruity esters, leading to a decidedly dry and bitter finish that lingers pleasantly.

Mouthfeel. Light to medium-light body with low carbonation, characteristic of the style. The texture is smooth and refreshing with no detectable alcohol warmth or astringency.
