Recipe 1
Classic Cask Bitter
Finest Pale Ale Golden Promise – 90%
Caramalt – 7%
Amber Malt – 3%
The softer, sweeter malt profile of Golden Promise gives this Bitter a rounder mouthfeel and a gentle honeyed note. Caramalt adds subtle sweetness and body, while Amber Malt contributes light toast and dryness.
Recipe 2
Rich Malty Bitter
Finest Pale Ale Maris Otter – 92%
Crystal Medium – 5%
Export Pale Brown Malt – 3%
This grist leans into classic British malt depth. Maris Otter provides a firm, biscuity backbone with excellent structure. Crystal Medium enhances colour and introduces gentle toffee and burnt sugar notes, while Export Pale Brown Malt contributes a dry, nutty toast character.
