Standard-Ordinary Bitter 3.7 º

St. Peter’s Brewery

This traditional Best Bitter showcases a masterful balance of organic Pale and Crystal malts, delivering a toasted biscuit foundation with distinctive threads of sweet caramel. The use of Goldings hops provides a quintessentially English sensory profile, marked by delicate floral and earthy nuances that temper the malt sweetness. Despite its modest ABV, it presents a surprisingly full-bodied feel with moderate fruity esters characteristic of a British ale fermentation. It finishes clean and refreshing, with a lingering, firm bitterness that invites another sip, epitomizing the classic sessionability of the Best Bitter style while maintaining a focus on high-quality organic ingredients.

Appearance. Medium copper to deep amber (12–15 SRM) with brilliant clarity. Produces a moderate, creamy off-white head with fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a focus on bready and biscuity malt. Prominent caramel and light toffee notes from the Crystal malt. Low to moderate earthy and floral hop character from the Goldings hops, accompanied by subtle fruity esters like apple or pear.

Taste. Initial bready malt sweetness quickly followed by caramel and toasted biscuit flavors. Goldings hops provide an earthy, herbal flavor. Bitterness is medium-high, providing a firm counterpoint to the malt. The finish is dry and clean with a lingering bitterness and light fruity esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is moderate, and there is no perceptible alcohol warmth due to the low ABV. Very low astringency.
