Inspired by the cunning countryside fox, this moreish auburn ale combines the biscuity and aromatic qualities of our speciality malts with the citrus hop charge of Celeia and Cascade hops. A refreshing beer ideal with spicy Mexican dishes. We’ve been brewing in the heart of Dorset since 1777.

50cl bottle from Tesco, Camberley. Amber with a lively white head; stewed malt aroma; citrusy malt taste; and a very light bitterness to finish. Over-pasteurised to the point of oblivion.
