Suffolk Pride - 4.8%
Suffolk Pride
Mauldons
4.8% Bitter
A full-bodied, strong bitter. Light in colour with a powerful bouquet of hops, developed fruit and a dry finish. We love creating traditional British ale styles, and this amber malt is no exception. Heightening both the malt and the hop aroma without being at the expense of each other is the key and we think we’ve done it. It's a big, copper-coloured beer with a lovely roasted note supported by spicy aromas. A really satisfying glass of beer that drinks much bigger than the stated 4.8%.
