Public House Bitter

Tap to rate

Public House Bitter is light in body and low in alcohol, built for drinking rather than lingering. Malt and hops sit in balance, neither drowning the other, and what emerges is clean and quenching. At 25 IBU the bitterness stays restrained, letting the malt speak softly beneath. A bitter for the afternoon, when you want refreshment that doesn't tire.
