A strong, citrus, zingy ale. Deceptively light in colour with zesty taste and a lingering hop finish. A well known and respected strong ale.
The Bishop’s Tipple is brewed from 94% low colour malt from Optic barley and 6% cane sugar. Bitterness units of 38-42 are obtained from substantial quantities of Saaz and Styrian Goldings hops. One third of these are reserved for the hopback plates for enhanced flavour and aroma.

Cask@Charlies Bar, CPH - amber/gold pour with a good off-white head. Sweet malty and fruity little number, caramel, toffee, slight hoppy, grass, and some floral nuance. Ok.
