Beer 26 - Moorhouse's Brewery, Premier Bitter

Tonight's beer comes from Moorhouse's Brewery. This is the first beer i have tried from this brewer and i am really looking forward to it. It is described as a classic English bitter.

Moorhouse's Brewery, Premier Bitter

ABV 3.7%

Looks: This ale pours light amber in colour with medium carbonation. It has a one finger, light beige, web foamed head.

Aroma: There seems to be an orangey citrus aroma with sweet caramel, biscuity malts coming through. I can detect a nutty fragrance, possibly pine nuts and a rich orange and peachy blossom floral scent.

Flavour: The flavour at first is hoppy with peach and orange fruits coming though. Then comes a dry bitterness which is under laced with a nutty salty taste. The nutty flavour could be warmed pine nuts and walnuts. The carbonation of this ale tingles the tongue on the way down but leaves a sweet caramel coating in the mouth.

Finish: This ale finishes dry on the palate but leaves a sweet caramel sweetness in the mouth.

Rating: 7 out of 10







Not a bad ale from Moorhouse's Brewery. As a bitter this ale does the job. With an ABV of 3.7% i would class this as a session beer. For more information on Moorhouse's Brewery and their ales please visit their website.
