The team at Range Brewing are taking a brief detour from their signature haze to show absolute reverence to traditional British brewing with Newstead Draught. Crafted as a classic Extra Special Bitter (ESB), this beautiful drop proves that the Newstead crew can nail balance and subtlety just as well as they do massive hop bombs. It pours a gorgeous, clear deep amber with a dense, persistent off-white foam. On the nose, it hits you with an incredibly inviting bouquet of toasted biscuit, sweet caramel malt, and a sophisticated, earthy whisper of traditional English hops. The palate is exceptionally smooth and medium bodied, layering rich, nutty malt complexity against a perfectly balanced, firm herbal bitterness that cleanses the palate beautifully. It finishes remarkably clean, dry, and smashable. It’s a masterfully structured pub classic engineered for long, comforting sessions with mates.
