Black Country Bitter

◎ Aussehen

Straw-gold in colour, noticeably lighter than the traditional ordinary bitter archetype. The beer presents with excellent clarity and a fine, persistent head that clings to the glass with good lacing. Carbonation is moderate and well-integrated, lending a gentle liveliness without aggressive effervescence.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with a distinctive Fuggles character—herbal and slightly earthy, with a gentle spice undertone. Beneath this sits a solid Maris Otter foundation offering subtle grain sweetness and a whisper of biscuit. The hop presence is assertive without dominating, creating an inviting and balanced aromatic profile.

◐ Geschmack

Entry is clean and approachable, with a fruity palate that unfolds across the mid-point. The Maris Otter malt delivers a rounded, malty character with hints of breadiness. Bitterness is firm and present, arriving with dry-hopped restraint and never ascending into harshness, maintaining excellent balance throughout.

◑ Abgang

The close is dry and hoppy, lingering with subtle bitterness and a malty warmth. The finish leaves a clean, slightly grainy aftertaste that encourages the next sip.
