Named after the River Effra, which now flows deep beneath urban Brixton, our fresh and feisty amber ale is perfect for deep thirsts. It’s all about balance with this one; fusing a rich malt base with a complex blend of hops, Effra is aromatic, uplifting and goes down incredibly easily. Zesty hops with dark malts for a smooth mouthfeel. English tradition meets New World flair. 35.5 EBC.

Lightly hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and slightly soft. Mild fine carbonation. Light caramel malts, little dry cream. Dried fruits and mild twangy bitterness. Little ripe orange in the dry finish. Not bad, bit flabby.

Bottle, from Sourced, split with Yespr on the train to Hostelboro, 28/02/14. Hazed orange amber with a moderate light beige head. Nose is mandarin, bitter grapefruit, caramel, earthy hop notes. Taste comprises dankish hops, red grapefruit, pithy citrics, caramel. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a little hop bitterness. So so, a little clumsy in the make up.

Bottle from Sourced Market St Pancras and drunk at home. Hazy ruby ber with lasting beige head. Resiny sweetish hoppy aroma. Now this I do like. If it was a touch more hoppy I’d love it. I like this sweet strawberry jam malt flavour. Sweetish jammy malty beer, the kind of beer I think someone like SilkTork would like. Little hop on the finish. Funny, I’d have this down as a mild. Decent beer.

Bottle at home from the launch at Craft Beer Co Brixton. Murky caramel copper pour with a thin lasting greyish cream head. Aroma is lots of hot fussel alcohol, caramel and berry with some twigs and orange. Flavour is better, orange, caramel, light tart hedgerow berries. Some plasticy phenols. Mellow fruity bitterness. Medium sweet finish. Medium body.
