Easter Ale

◎ Appearance

Deep amber hue with a warm, burnished glow characteristic of the style. The beer presents good clarity with a dense, off-white head that demonstrates solid retention and lacing. Fine carbonation creates a persistent mousse that clings evenly to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with fresh, inviting malt sweetness grounded in toffee and caramel notes. Local Fuggle, Pilgrim, Cascade and Golding hops contribute a lightly herbal and slightly floral character, avoiding any aggressive bittering. A subtle spice note reminiscent of warm baking spices emerges beneath the malt forward profile.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied with toffee and caramel building gently in the mid-palate, creating a rounded sweetness. A distinctive spice character—reminiscent of hot cross bun spicing—weaves through the malt, adding complexity and depth. The bitterness arrives measured and clean, finishing dry without any harsh edges.

◑ Finish

A clean, dry finish with pleasant bitterness that lingers without dominating. The aftertaste carries light spice and a subtle malt echo, fading gradually with no cloying residue.
