Bottle, can, and keg: Regular Pale Ale "The Bears" wording is on the bottle label but not on the can or keg label. Note: Listed as brewed at Ramsgate but some (or all) may have been brewed at Celt Expeience. Named after the ‘Spirit’ bear of British Columbia which has an unusual pale yellow coat, Spirit is a 4.2% session ale. It is made with 95% biscuity Maris Otter Pale Ale malted barley (the classic English Pale Ale Malt variety) with a touch of Munich and Cara speciality malts for added complexity and colour. The pale ale is hopped with our characteristic emphasis on flavour and aroma so a small bittering addition of Target at the start of the boil is contrasted with large late additions of citrusy and piney Chinook and Summit hops from the USA. This gives a great US style hop profile that is beautifully aromatic and flavourful but has a quenching intense bitterness on the back of the palate. The beer is then fermented with our house US-05 yeast strain that is neutral in flavour and allows the malt and hops a platform to really shine
