1880 Historic Pale Ale
Malty, hoppy, and bittersweet with a hint of marmalade, inspired by a recipe brewed by Kemp Town Brewery in 1880. Chevalier provides a big malt backbone for massive quantities of British & European Hops, typical of the time, while traditional Invert No.2 sugar adds hints of molasses and lightens the finish.
Brewed in collaboration with Sunken Knave.
Cask version is 5.7%, Keg and can 6.2%

Can from Appellation Wines.
Appearance - golden and clear, maybe a slight hop haze, with a big fluffy off-white head.
Nose - soft oats, light caramel and generally bready.
Taste - burnt toffee, bread and dried orange.
Palate - medium bodied, chewy middle and roasty finish.
Overall - definitely traditional in style, would love to try on cask.
