Spitting Feathers Best Bitter

◎ Appearance

A clear copper hue with good depth and brilliance. The head forms densely and clings to the glass with fine, persistent lacing. Carbonation is moderate, showing a steady stream of fine bubbles that sustains the foam collar throughout the drink.

◌ Aroma

Floral English hops lead the nose with a gentle, herbal sweetness. Beneath this lies the caramel richness from the Crystal malt—warm, toasty, with subtle notes of toffee. The house yeast contributes a clean, slightly fruity character that rounds out the aromatic profile without dominating.

◐ Taste

The palate opens with a creamy, full body that belies the moderate alcohol strength. Caramel and toffee from the malt meld with the restrained bittering (28 IBU), which arrives as a gentle drying sensation rather than a sharp bite. The balance tips slightly toward sweetness, with the floral hop character weaving through the mid-palate to prevent cloying.

◑ Finish

A delicate fruity aftertaste persists into the finish, clean and dry without harshness. The fade is moderate, leaving behind lingering notes of toffee and subtle hop spice.
