First brewed in 1990, this has become one of the most revered beers in the Jennings portfolio (and the one we've been most asked to bring back!). Brewed with Maris Otter pale, amber and a dash of pale chocolate malts, and a blend of Fuggles, Goldings and Challenger hops - some of the UK's most respected varieties.
These will combine for a glorious deep amber ale, with russett highlights and a warming character. Complex flavours of dried fruits and hints of spice make a perfect beer to savour, whatever weather the Lake District gives you!
Sneck Lifter, in Northern dialect, means someone's last sixpence, which allowed them to lift the latch of a pub door and buy a pint of beer, with hopes that another friendly face inside would buy them a couple more.

Thin off white head on a clear amber coloured body.
Minimal berry & woody aroma.
Medium bodied, soft on the tongue with a cloying back.
Biscuit, caramel, malt & woody tastes with a bitter finish.
This is the wrong beer in the bottle! The beer should be dark.
What on earth has happened here?
