Civil Life Ordinary Bitter Ale

The term “Ordinary Bitter” is an official classification indicating a low-alcohol content (drink a few), but there’s nothing ordinary about this beer. It remains a popular session ale in England but is actually quite rare on our side of the pond. Bready and biscuity barley malts with hints of candied orange peels, pear slices, red currants, overripe blackberries, pine wood, chocolate, and breakfast blend coffee. If you dig the exquisite flowery and resiny aromas, there’s a reason for that: this hop variety is a perfume industry favourite because of its high selinene oil level. This Ordinary Bitter features complex malty and hoppy aftertastes with a mouthfeel reminiscent of herbal tea or limestone well-water.
