Gold medal winner in the Premium Bitters category at the Great British Beer Festival Homebrew competition 2023.
Bronze medal at the UK national homebrew competition 2025, British Isles Amber.
This bitter is made from an English base malt with medium crystal, and a small amount of wheat and chocolate malts. It also has added brewing sugar and Golden Syrup to increase the alcohol content while retaining drinkability.
Harlequin has been used to give a medium bitterness. Then a combination of Challenger and Goldings have been used for flavour/aroma.
The Fullers London ESB yeast (Wyeast 1968) has been used here to give a malty flavour and will leave some sweetness.
