Ploughman
Ploughman is an ordinary bitter in the British tradition, brewed with English malts including Maris Otter and crystal, fermented with a British yeast strain and hopped with Styrian Golding and a small addition of Willamette. It is copper-coloured. The yeast contributes its classic esters, the bitterness is gentle, and the flavour runs to earthy and floral notes and black tea.
