Extra Special Bitter
Traditional English-style beer made with Maris Otter as a base malt, and a touch of Cristal T50 and DRC and finally fermented with ale yeast, to which we have given the house touch with a light dry-hop from Bramling Cross. Blackberry, prune, and blackcurrant aromas. Light but at the same time tasty and balanced with just the right bitterness to drink by the gallon.

Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were earth, malts, toffee, biscuits and bitterness. Aftertaste was malty and bitter. A tasty and balanced malty brew with pleasant hop notes.
