Collaboration with Other Half.
We selected a blend of modern and traditional UK hop varieties, taking the floral orange character of East Kent Goldings and pairing them with Ernest, a relatively new variety born of the UK hop breeding programme, which brings pungent stone fruit and citrus aromas. For malt, we selected floor malted Golden Promise from Fawcetts in Castleford and backed this with a blend of pale crystals, lightly toasted amber malts and a touch of oat malt for mouthfeel and foam stability. Finally, we fermented with a true Yorkshire ale strain for a classic ester profile which will take your mind straight to that cosy corner of your favourite ale house.

Pours a semi clear amber with soft, fluffy head.
Smell is earthy and bready with floralnotes and hints of citrus and caramel.
Taste is bready and floral, with some earthiness to it. Notes of citrus, caramel and some herbs. Moderate bitterness, clean and crisp.
Mouthfeel is medium, well carbonated.
Overall, a very nice bitter, just a bit too earthy for me.
