Standard-Ordinary Bitter 4.2 º

Surrey Hills Brewery

Shere Drop is a quintessentially refreshing Best Bitter, presenting a bright, pale appearance that invites the first sip. The aroma is characterized by a subtle, bright citrus profile featuring grapefruit and lemon zest, underpinned by a soft, biscuity malt foundation. On the palate, a wonderful, firm hop bitterness takes center stage, yet remains perfectly harmonized with a delicate bready malt sweetness. This session-strength ale is defined by its superb drinkability and exceptional balance, concluding with a characteristically long and moderately dry finish that highlights its traditional British heritage with a modern citrus twist.

Appearance. Pale amber to deep gold (approx. 8-10 SRM). Displays brilliant clarity with a fine-textured, off-white head that shows moderate retention and leaves light lacing on the glass.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a clean, bready, and lightly biscuity malt character. Distinctive but subtle hop notes of grapefruit and lemon peel are present, supported by very low fruity esters and a faint earthy undertone.

Taste. Initial impression is of a crisp, decidedly bitter profile that is quickly supported by a toasted, bready malt flavor. The hop character leans toward citrus and light resin. Bitterness is medium-high but smooth, leading into a clean, lingering, and moderately dry finish without any harshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with moderate carbonation. It possesses a smooth texture with no astringency and no discernible alcohol warmth, reinforcing its high drinkability.
