So, picture this: You’re sipping a beer and that sharp, biting flavour bites into your taste buds, causing your face to pucker. That intense bitterness, whether you love it or hate it, is the quintessential characteristic of beer. Right?
Most of us associate beer with that sharp intense bitterness but do not realise there is a different kind of bitterness that is perceived as smooth and rounded. In these beers, you still get the bitter flavour but without the face puckering reaction. The bitterness is not as harsh and depending on the hops used, often complemented by a hoppy character that could range from fruity to spicy to even herbal and grassy.
With the launch of Alpine Haven, we wish to introduce a craft beer that has the familiar bitterness but without the harshness. It is accompanied by a fresh minty evergreen character reminiscent of pine trees and just a hint of hoppy citrus flavours.
Beer drinkers accustomed to popular lagers will find this flavour familiar while showcasing a different facet to bitterness. Whereas those who have previously shied away from beer will discover that smooth bitterness can actually be very pleasant.
Perfect for thirst quenching, this beer and its smooth bitterness is indeed a match made in haven.
Scale the peaks with Alpine Haven!
