Rosedale Bitter

Description

Rosedale Bitter by Townshend Brewery is a quintessential English-style bitter that offers a delightful balance of malt and hops. This 3.9% ABV beer pours a deep amber color with a creamy off-white head that lingers, leaving behind delicate lacing on the glass. The aroma is a complex blend of malty sweetness and hoppy bitterness, with notes of caramel, toffee, and biscuit complemented by floral aromas and a hint of citrus zest. The flavor profile follows suit, with a rich malt backbone providing flavors of caramel, bread crust, and a slight nuttiness. The hops contribute a moderate bitterness that balances the sweetness, offering notes of grapefruit, lemon peel, and earthy spice. The medium-light body and smooth, creamy texture, combined with the lively carbonation, create a refreshing and satisfying mouthfeel. The bitterness lingers slightly on the finish, leaving a crisp and enjoyable aftertaste. Rosedale Bitter is a well-crafted classic that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of dishes, making it a versatile choice for beer enthusiasts.
