This amber coloured beer has a fine, lingering hop bitterness and a biscuit-like flavour. I use aroma hops for both bittering and flavouring, which results in a subdued hoppiness. No dark malts are used in the mash, instead a large proportion of amber malt is used to achieve the intense flavour. An English ale yeast is used for the fermentation, which contributes to the character of the beer and leaves a large amount of unfermentable sugars in the beer.

Draught (Hanging Bat, Edinburgh) - Hazy amber in colour. Caramel, grapefruit and dired malt in the aroma. Fruity, hoppy and metallic taste with notes of caramel, sultanas and pine.
