The name says it all. This is our award-winning Classic Bitter – a balanced, disctinctively hoppy, dry ale with a floral nose and smooth well-balanced finish. Classic is brewed with pale and crystal malted barley, bittered with a quartet of hops – Northern Brewer, Cascade, Willamette (a Fuggles hybrid) and Brambling Cross.

Bottle conditioned. Amber with a decent off-white head. Aroma of orange peel and earthy hops. Flavour of honey and more orange with a very dry finish. Would echo comment below about the spritzy mouth feel. Very enjoyable.

Bottled (thanks omhper). Amber colour, mediumsized beige and creamy head, leaves lace. Aroma is flowery hops along with sweetish malts. Flavour is honey, hops and some citrusy notes. Very mouthdrying.

Bottled. Lightly hazy reddish amber, full sized creamy head.Medium sweet and light bodied with pleasant chewy malt character. Fresh bitter hops dominate the finish. Tasty and uncomplicated.
