A Manchester bitter - this classic English style ale has had a revamp with some modern brewing techniques. We have introduced amarillo hops to a rich malty body and the results speak for themselves. Lovely and refreshing with a touch of something new.

Keg at Tilt, Bingo-Cotts Convention, 08/07/23. Hazed amber to marmalade orange with s light beige cap that thins to a swirl. Nose is dusty fruit rinds, straw, biscuit, toffee. Taste comprises brown bread, earthy fruits, biscuit, raisins. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light bitter edge. Okay ... I imagine Keg dispense isn't this beers best friend!

0,33 boks fra Utobeer Covent Garden, delt med skibsrederen mens vi brygger årets juleøl: nesten helt klar kobbergylden med højt og tett cremeskum som holder stilen til siste dråpe. Urter, våt barskog og engelsk appelsinmarmelade. Behagelig bitterhed i afslutningen. Mye å glede seg over i bare 4,4% (iflg etiketten - ikke 3,8).
