Basqueland Brewing Gran Norte

This Strong Bitter pays homage to English brewing traditions with a sophisticated malt backbone featuring Maris Otter, Crystal T50, and DRC. It presents an inviting profile where the bready, toasty depth of the heirloom base malt meets the rich, dark caramel and subtle dried fruit notes of the specialty grains. A distinct dry-hop addition of Bramling Cross imparts unique sensory cues of blackberry, blackcurrant, and prune, which harmonize with the fruity esters produced by the English ale yeast. Light and refreshing yet robust in character, it offers a well-balanced bitterness that provides a clean, sessionable finish while maintaining complex layers of British heritage.
