Named in honour of the inquisitive and extremely “fursty” ferrets of the Gribble Inn, a celebrated golden brown ale, full of character.
At the heart of many a countryside village can be found an inn. A place where locals go to relax after a long day. At one such inn, rumour has it that inquisitive ferrets would sneak to the back door to cheekily sample the local brew. A sweet nutty palate, hoppy aroma and a hint of Seville oranges, give this tawny amber ale its distinctive personality. Recommended with smooth and creamy West Country Cheddar or indulgent pork pies and mustard.

Flaska från SB. Klar bärnstenstensfärgad vätska med medelhögt smutsvitt skum. Doft och smak av säd, bröd, rostade nötter, mineraler, sommarblommor. Bra kropp, torr, snygg maltprofil som spelar fint med EKG-humlen med en lätt maskrosbeska. Trevlig.

500ml bottle. Pours a dark orange-brown with small head. Aroma of malt and a hint of lemon. Taste of malt and biscuits and a very slight floral hop flavour. Finish is moderate bitterness and sweetness. Average body with low carbonation. A decent session bitter but nothing special.
