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.

Cask ale, half-pint at Ship & Shovell. Shared with Finn. Off-white, bubbly head, lacing rings down the glass, clear, deep mahogany coloured body. Moderate smell of dusty hops and caramel malts. Well balanced malt-fruity flavours, hints of peaches and mid-sweet malt. Rounded and clean bittersweet tail. Nice. (London, 30.09.2023).

Fles gedeeld door Koenzie, geprobeerd met Roelzie. Het is een helder amberkleurig bier met een volle witte schuimkraag. Het heeft een aroma van mout en toffee. De smaak is moutig, zacht zoet en ebt snel weg.

50cl bottle. Pours a beautiful brilliant red, old school English style, clear, with fine, whitish foam. Aroma is earthy, a little caramel. Body and carbonation are average. Taste is well balanced between some sweetness and some earthy bitterness. Final is average.

Amber. Klar. Filmskum med litt farge. God karamellaroma. Smaken kjeks & frukt. Fortsatt karamell i en beskjeden bitter avslutning. Bra bitter!
