Northern Pub Ale

◎ Appearance

Deep copper hue with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head. The color sits at the warm end of the amber spectrum, reflecting the caramel-forward Malz bill. Good retention and lacing indicate proper carbonation and body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with pronounced caramel and toast notes from the imported British Malz, underpinned by a biscuity sweetness. Earthy and herbal hop character emerges in the mid-range, with a subtle floral thread and a marmalade-like citrus edge that gives the bouquet brightness without sharpness.

◐ Taste

Medium-bodied with a clean, malty entry that emphasizes bready, toasty grain. The mid-palate develops a firm, drying bitterness from quality Edelhopfen, balanced by lingering caramel sweetness and subtle orange notes. The bitterness is well-integrated—earthy and herbal rather than sharp or astringent.

◑ Finish

The finish leans decidedly toward Malz character, with toasted grain persisting longer than hop bitterness. A dry, slightly herbal aftertaste rounds out the palate without lingering harshly.
