English-style Bitter brewed to commemorate the first brew in our new location in Hillman City. Just like “The First One” in 2023, this is a light ale brewed with a blend of quality British caramel malts, this beer was hopped with East Kent Goldings and modern German hop Mandarina Bavaria. Open-fermented and cask-conditioned. Low ABV with a bright, refreshing hop character, The Second First One is a great little Bitter for the last days of Summer.

Poured into a Reuben's Brew pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy, medium coppery amber with a one finger white head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma of biscuit malt, graham cracker and light grassy hops. Flavor is biscuit and dry caramel malt, grassy and citrus hops, brown bread crust, light hay and lemon citrus; lingering citrus bitterness in the finish. Medium bodied with light to moderate creaminess. A quite nice looking bitter with a classic tasting malt base and a hybrid profile of hops with traditional grassy noble hops and a lighter, lemony variety. Light and sessionable, but quite a bit of flavor for the ABV and more solid bitterness in the finish than a traditional bitter; this one more closely lives up to its name. Nicely done.
