Simple Things Fermentations British Strong Ale

Strong Ale 8.2 º 30 IBU
This British Strong Ale presents a sophisticated bridge between a robust Extra Special Bitter and a nascent Barley Wine. A sturdy foundation of Maris Otter and Aromatic malts delivers a rich, toffee-like depth, complemented by a candy-like sweetness. Uniquely hopped with Keyworth Early Season and Celeia varieties, the profile reveals unexpected layers of pithy lemon, grapefruit, and a delicate touch of spice. Despite its strength, the beer maintains an approachable profile with low bitterness and a surprisingly dry finish. It is a warming, nourishing winter ale that showcases a Scottish Tripel character with intense satisfaction and smooth drinkability.
Appearance. Deep amber to copper with reddish highlights (14–18 SRM). Brilliant clarity. Pours with a moderate, cream-colored head that shows fair retention and light lacing.
Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Rich, malty-sweet notes of toasted biscuit and toffee from the Maris Otter and Aromatic malts. Hop-derived aromas of pithy lemon and grapefruit merge with a subtle, peppery spice. Ester profile suggests dried fruits like sultanas, with a clean but evident alcohol presence.
Taste. Initial impression is of rich, nutty malt and candy-like sweetness. Flavors of toffee and bread crust are balanced by hop-derived citrus notes of lemon and grapefruit. Bitterness is notably low for the style, allowing the malt and fruit esters to lead. The finish is surprisingly dry and clean, with a lingering hint of spice and warming alcohol.
Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a chewy, smooth texture. Carbonation is moderate to low, enhancing the creamy feel. Noticeable but well-integrated alcohol warmth provides a nourishing quality without being solventy or harsh.

Sitting somewhere between ESB and a barleywine, what we have here is akin to a Scottish Tripel. Maris Otter and Aromatic malts provide a rich foundation for a generous hopping with Keyworth Early Season and Celeia hops, imparting pithy lemon and grapefruit notes with candy sweetness and a gentle hint of spice. Low bitterness and a dry finish make for a smooth drinkability. An ideal choice for the winter months; rounded, warming, nourishing and intensely satisfying.

Simple Things say “The timing is perfect for this strong, fruity ale… it’s the beer equivalent of a luxury duvet; warming, comforting and sumptuous. The brief was to create a beer that occupies the space between a Tripel and Fuller’s Vintage Ale. A big beer that feels special and drinks almost too easily with a rich, sweet body, low bitterness and dry finish.

“Maris Otter, Aromatic and Cara Gold malts plus Keyworth Early Season whole cone hops in the boil and a delicate dry hop with Celeia. Ferment with Edinburgh yeast and leave for an extended conditioning period. That’s it! Nothing complicated but extremely effective. It’s just a good combination of ingredients that really compliment one another, with sweet fruity notes from both malt and hops meeting a suggestion of restrained warming spice from the Keyworth Early – a hop that really deserves to be seen more often. Every time I’ve tasted this beer from brew day onwards it’s been delicious, it tastes like something you’d spread on toast! It looks great too, and it’s an absolute pleasure to be getting it out there today.”
