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.

Bottle from Tesco, Prestwich. Edging towards a tawny golden colour with a very thin head. There’s a few hops evident, a little more so in its taste than aroma but it’s a pretty well balanced ale with a small bitterness and a small sweetness. Has a slightly smooth texture.
