Those Brits have made a few good ales here and
there. This is our take on an aggressive English Bitter.
A good base of highly modified English malt forms the
canvas for the subtle interplay of wheat, rye, and
caramel malts. The main show, though, is the
dominant English hop character. A blend of English
Phoenix, First Goldings, and East Kent Goldings really
highlight the stereotypical flavors of English hops.
Look for grassy, bitter, earthy, and slightly spicy notes
in a hop profile that spends more time on the tongue
than the nose.

Tap: Clear, orange-amber with a short, off-white head. Tobacco smoke, bitter nut aroma. Leafy, earthy hopping, almost tangy taste. A very nice take on the style.
