Britannia Bitter by Baylands Brewery is a delightful English-style bitter that strikes a perfect balance between hop bitterness and malty sweetness. This 4.5% ABV brew boasts a clear, golden-amber hue with a creamy white head that gradually dissipates, leaving a thin lacing. The aroma is a captivating blend of floral, grassy hops, complemented by hints of citrus peel and a subtle malty sweetness. The flavor profile is equally well-crafted, with initial notes of grapefruit and orange zest giving way to a smooth, malty backbone, hinting at caramel and toasted bread. The finish is dry and slightly bitter, with a lingering citrusy hop character that provides a refreshing kick. Baylands Brewery has expertly combined Nelson Sauvin, New Zealand Cascade, and Fuggles hops with Maris Otter and Crystal malts to create a sessionable and well-balanced beer that is sure to delight both traditional bitter enthusiasts and those seeking a modern twist on a classic style.
