AMBER ALE
Britain’s enviable reputation for great cask beer was built on the humble but brilliant, ‘best bitter’.
In an era where the style is still enjoyed by millions, it has simultaneously been abandoned by the newest waves of innovative breweries.
So, we wanted to put that right and we are proud to present to you a new arrival into the category for the region to be proud of.
A beautiful amber colour, with perfect balance between finest English Maris Otter malt and classic Southern English hops; malty, clean, moreish.
Fortitude is a 4.0% bitter with attitude.
ALLERGENS: Wheat & barley malt

(Cask at White Horse, Parson's Green, London, 21 May 2023) Dark amber colour with frothy, tan head. Malty, slightly roasted nose with notes of dark bread, toast, caramel and raisins. Malty, slightly roasted taste with dark bread, caramel, toast and a balanced earthy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Nice one.

Pint at the White Hart. Clear, dark amber, small foamy off-white head. Malty aroma. Taste is dry and malty, and the body seems a bit thin.
