A 5.2% Hoppy American Brown Ale, this brew is a beautiful fusion of tradition and modern flair. A carefully selected blend of malts brings layers of biscuit, nutty, and chocolate notes, creating a rich and satisfying backbone.
Balanced against this is a modern hop bill featuring Simcoe and Krush, delivering bright bursts of orange and citrus that lift and complement the malt base perfectly.

Cask at the Bailey Head, Oswestry. Pours very dark brown with a small head. Aroma is hoppy hedgerow fruit and ground coffee. Taste has hedgerow fruit, bread and milk chocolate with a bitter hoppy finish.

Cask at White Horse, Hedgerley, Bucks. A dark brown coloured pour with a medium off white head on top. Hoppy, malty, nutty, chocolate taste and aroma. Not bad.

440ml can online from HoTM. Pours dark brown with beige foam. Aroma: caramel malts, berry fruits, mild citrus. Taste: light sweet & light to moderate bitter. Medium body with fine carbonation. Odd hops for the style tbh. But then I'm a sucker for an American brown ale.

440ml can. Pours dark brown with a big beige head. Aroma of berry fruits, tropical, citrus, chocolatey malts. Taste is very fruity, berries, citrus and a little tropical, atop chocolatey malts, caramel, light bitterness. Medium bodied. Not the kind of hops I'd choose for this style, but it's alright.
