En kopparfärgad ale i stilen extra special bitter
5,5 ABV

Under tidigt 1800-tal hade pale ale och bitter blivit synonymer i England. Bryggerierna kallade sitt öl för pale ale men konsumenterna insisterade på att kalla den för bitter. Troligtvis för att de var betydligt mer humliga och beskare än andra vanliga öltyper såsom porter eller mild. Begreppen Ordinary Bitter, Best Bitter och Special Bitter växte fram, den ena starkare och humligare än den andra.

Vår Special bitter har en maltig smak från mörk karamellmalt och en nypa chokladmalt. Lättdrucken, välbalanserad i god engelsk tradition med en tydlig blommighet från den engelska humlen.

Flaska från SB med den nya etiketten Special bitter. Bärnstensfärgad, drar åt orange, disig, två fingrar högt skum som snart bildar ett lock. Försiktig doft som mest är eskilstunamurrig. et är någon jästig doft/smak om jag tycker drar ned de flesta öl från bryggeriet. Här finns det inte så stora smaker som döljer det. Lite blommig UK-humle, bra nötig maltbas och lite torr gräsig beska gillas och eftersmaken är riktigt fin. Summa = Okej iaf.

Malty, fruity taste with notes of toast, orange peel, caramel and a generous citrussy bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a slight sweetness. Nice one.
