Reintroduced two years ago by local maltster, Crisp Malt, five preserved Chevallier seeds were re-sown and crops harvested to create the volume required to replicate a traditional Greene King real ale from the 1800s. Vintage Fine Ale is a rich, flavoursome beer, enhanced by biscuity notes from Amber malt with a hint of caramel. Classic English late hopping varieties Fuggle, Bramling Cross and Goldings add soft fruits, floral and spicy notes to create this rich, complex and full-bodied Vintage Fine Ale.

Bottle from Tesco and drunk at home. Clear reddish brown colour lasting beige head. Malty aroma. Again not much house yeast character. Nutty flavour. Some peppery hop on the finish. Rather good malts I thought. HIdes ABV well. I thought rather good on the malts no doubt. Decent malts throughout.
