Manchester Bitter

◎ Appearance

Deep golden hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that clings to the glass with fine lacing. The carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, contributing to a clean, inviting presentation that speaks to traditional British brewing standards.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with bright floral and citrus notes, primarily lemon, layered over the warm, toasted character of specialty malts. Cascade and Ekuanot hops provide a fresh, herbal backbone without overwhelming the composition, creating a balanced and approachable aromatic profile.

◐ Taste

On the palate, a crisp bitterness emerges cleanly, supported by the sweet, biscuity foundation of the specialty malts. The body is medium and well-defined, with the hop bitterness providing structure without harshness, and the citrus notes resolving into a dry, refreshing mid-palate.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and dry, with lingering bitterness that fades gracefully into a slightly grainy aftertaste. The overall impression is refreshing and quenching, leaving a pleasant dryness on the palate.
