Old Jorge

Tap to rate

A copper-coloured bitter in the British manner, very clear, with a compact white head. Honey dominates the aroma together with the nutty note typical of UK ales: bread crust, biscuit and light caramel. The palate repeats those elements, with honey, cereal, bread crust and a touch of caramel. Carbonation is kept deliberately low.

◐ Taste

The palate echoes the aromatic promise with honey and cereal grain at the forefront, followed by bread crust and a gentle touch of caramel sweetness. Bitterness is measured and restrained at 32 IBU, providing structural balance rather than assertive hop presence. The mouthfeel is crisp and clean, with the low carbonation creating a refined, almost creamy texture.
