This contemporary take on an Ordinary Bitter balances traditional sessionability with modern hop intensity. Olicana hops dominate the profile, delivering waves of tropical mango, ripe peach, and a zesty grapefruit citrus. The malt foundation provides a soft, bready backdrop that supports the juicy hop character without overshadowing the style's characteristic bitterness. Despite its modern aromatic leanings, the beer remains light-bodied and endlessly drinkable. Unfined for a natural haze, it concludes with a bright, refreshing finish. This pint showcases how British brewing traditions evolve through innovative hop selection, creating a vibrant, fruit-forward experience that maintains its sessionable core.
Appearance.Pale amber to light copper (8-12 SRM). Low to moderate off-white head with modest lacing. Because it is unfined, it presents with a hazy to opaque appearance rather than the style's traditional brilliant clarity.
Aroma.Moderate intensity featuring a bready, biscuity malt base. Prominent fruity character driven by Olicana hops, exhibiting specific notes of tropical mango, stone fruit peach, and citrusy grapefruit. Low to moderate fruity fermentation esters complement the hop profile. No diacetyl.
Taste.Initial impression of soft, juicy tropical fruit. Medium-high bitterness is balanced by a bready and lightly toasty malt backbone. Distinct flavors of ripe peach and mango transition into a zesty grapefruit middle. The finish is dry and refreshing with a lingering, clean hop bitterness and no harshness.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a soft, slightly creamy texture. Carbonation is low to moderate, following the traditional cask-conditioned profile. Very light, well-integrated alcohol warmth. No astringency.
