1099. Howdy Pilgrim
Jadyn and I had dinner at the CBC shortly before Thanksgiving. I had a pint of Howdy Pilgrim, a Bitter dry-hopped with Pilgrim hops, and served on Cask.
Beer Stats:
Brewery: Cambridge Brewing Company
Alcohol: 4.30%
Serving: Cask
Style: English Bitter, BJCP Style Guide
Appearance: 4.0 | Smell: 3.5 | Taste: 4.0 | Mouthfeel: 3.5| Drinkability: 4.5
Overall: 3.9
Pours a deeply cloudy, amber tinted, copper color. It's topped by a sudsy, off-white head that fades to a film. The aroma is somewhat mild. There are light caramel and toasty malt notes, as well as herbal hops.
Initially, toasty malts and a lightly sweet breadiness greets the palate. The maltiness opens up in the center with a bit more sweetness and some fruity hints. A strong, hoppy bitterness quickly takes over towards the finish. Herbal and floral hop flavors complement the lingering bitterness in the aftertatse, which, oddly, has aslight, lingering sweet undertone. This Bitter is light-bodied and briskly carbonated.
I thought this was an excellent session beer, which fits the style.
