Pride of Pendle

◎ Appearance

A clear, light amber pour with a fine golden-bronze hue. The head builds moderately and settles into a thin, persistent collar with visible lacing on the glass. Carbonation is gentle and sustained, lending a soft sparkle to the body.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with delicate floral notes from Progress and Willamette hops, complemented by warm biscuit malt character and hints of stone fruit. A subtle herbal edge underlies the composition without dominating, creating an inviting and balanced first impression.

◐ Taste

Entry is soft and malty, with prominent biscuit and breadiness from the Maris Otter and pale ale malts. The mid-palate develops a sustained, refined bitterness with dark fruit undertones and a drying mineral quality that builds toward the swallow. The wheat malt adds a touch of caramel sweetness, kept in check by the crisp, dry backbone.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately long, with the bitterness lingering pleasantly alongside a fading bread note. The aftertaste remains dry and slightly mineral, inviting another sip.
