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.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at CBC Brixton. Pours cloudy amber with a bubbly, white head. The aroma has note of pine, dried orange and grainy bread. Light to medium sweet flavor with lots of dry and lightly yeasty brown bread, further pine, earth, some leaves, a bit more dried citrus. Light to medium in body with soft carbonation. The condition seems slightly lacking. Mildly resinous on the finish with lightly toasted, dried bread, pine, hints of pineapple, orange, apple. Fairly tasty overall but it’s a rather simplistic beer and a bit rough around the edges.
