Bolt Head

◎ Appearance

A ruby-red ale with good clarity and a dense, persistent head. The color leans toward deep amber with garnet edges, typical of a well-crafted Best Bitter. Carbonation is moderate and even, supporting fine lacing that clings to the glass.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with sweet, rum-like notes that suggest caramel and subtle oak. Beneath this, soft fruity esters emerge alongside a warm malt backbone. Noble hops add a gentle, herbal undertone without dominating the profile.

◐ Taste

The palate is full-bodied and malty, with stone fruit and subtle dried fruit notes building in the mid-palate. A gentle bitterness arrives late and restrained, anchoring the sweetness without overwhelming it. The malt character remains prominent throughout, contributing depth and roundness.

◑ Finish

The finish pivots decisively toward citrus, with a clear orange note that cuts through the preceding malt sweetness. The aftertaste is clean and dry, with lingering orange pith and a touch of herbal bite.
