Arbor Hornbeam Arbor Ales Bristol, Gloucestershire
Beer style: Bitter - Premium / Strong / Extra Special (ESB) Ref: ratebeer.com Jun2024
Common descriptors are Cask; Regular. A deceptively easy drinking IPA style special bitter, with a lingering dry hoppy finish. Using the same blend of Maris Otter, Crystal and Wheat malts found in our session bitter, Hornbeam is brewed to a much higher original gravity. This is balanced by a liberal addition of Northdown hops at the start of the boil, with two further additions of Challenger hops to leave a slightly fruity aftertaste. |
