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.

Bottle from the Coop. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Nose - butterscotch, or maybe I’m being unfair- perhaps shortbread and caramel so millionaire shortbread. Taste -caramel, actually syrup. Verging on honeycomb. Palate - medium bodied with a sweet tangy texture and a finish that isn’t as bad as you think it’s going to be. Overall - it’s a bit sweet but not I bad.

Flaske hos Steven: etter to forskjellige Fullres holder ikke denne helt mål selv om den er grei nok. Litt god og frisk appelsinsyre blandet med noe nøtte- og karamellaktig.
