Standard-Ordinary Bitter 4.3 º

Treen's

Treen's Classic presents as a quintessential Ordinary Bitter, elevated by a slightly higher strength that adds depth to its sessionable frame. The pour reveals a deep amber hue, leading with a bouquet of light caramel and subtle bready malt. On the palate, a delicate complexity emerges as rich caramel notes and a whisper of dark chocolate intertwine with soft fruity esters. A firm, spicy hop bitterness provides a clean counterpoint to the malt sweetness, ensuring high drinkability. This traditional British ale balances its earthy and spicy hop character with a toasted malt backbone, finishing dry and refreshing with a lingering, pleasant bitterness.

Appearance. Deep amber to light copper color with brilliant clarity. Pours with a low to moderate off-white head that shows fair retention and light lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a bready and toasted malt character. Distinct notes of caramel and a very subtle hint of cocoa are present. Hop aroma is moderate, displaying spicy and earthy qualities. Light fruity esters suggesting red apple or pear are detectable in the background.

Taste. Initial malt flavors of toasted bread and light toffee are immediately followed by a firm, spicy hop bitterness. A unique hint of dark chocolate adds complexity to the mid-palate, balanced by soft fruity esters. The balance is decidedly bitter but supported by the malt backbone. It finishes dry and clean with a lingering spicy hop and toasted grain aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a smooth, non-astringent texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, providing a soft sparkle on the tongue. Alcohol warmth is very low, contributing to a high level of refreshment.
