Dr Morton's Ship's Biscuit
Pale and easy drinking, with lovely hop flavour, floral notes, a gentle spiciness and a not too bitter finish. Calypso is the hop, on Maris Otter, wheat and caramalt at 4.1 % ABV. It is one of the Dr Morton's cask specials, on the brewery's trade list from 5 October 2026, and like every Abbeydale beer it is brewed with a gluten-reducing enzyme.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Dr Morton's Ship's Biscuit
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
