English Pale Ale 4 º

Wensleydale Brewery

This Ordinary Bitter presents a refreshing sessionable character, balancing traditional Yorkshire brewing roots with the modern vibrancy of Australian Enigma hops. The malt base provides a subtle foundation of bready and lightly toasty notes, while the single dry hopping process elevates the sensory profile with distinct nuances of red currant, raspberry, and subtle pinewood. Despite its light gravity, it offers a sophisticated interplay between the earthy qualities of a classic British Bitter and the contemporary berry-forward fruitiness of the hops. Clean and incredibly drinkable, it finishes with a firm, drying bitterness that invites the next sip.

Appearance. 8-14 SRM; pale amber to light copper in color. Shows good clarity with a low to moderate off-white head that may exhibit modest retention.

Aroma. Moderate intensity with a malt profile of toasted bread and light biscuit. The dry-hop addition provides a moderate hop aroma characterized by red berries, raspberries, and a touch of resinous earth. Low to moderate fruity esters are present, complementing the hop-derived fruitiness.

Taste. Initial impression is crisp with a medium to moderately high bitterness. Malt flavors are low to medium, favoring bready and biscuity notes with a very faint caramel undertone. The Enigma hop flavor is prominent, contributing notes of currants and berries. Finishes dry with a lingering, clean bitterness and moderate fruity esters.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with low to moderate carbonation. Smooth on the palate with no alcohol warmth and no astringency, emphasizing high drinkability.
