Light Amber, this English IPA is not as strong as its American cousin, but it’s full to the brim with flavour. Herbal, spicy and blackcurrant notes balance with the amber and crystal malt for sweet biscuit characters. A sublime bitterness, soft and balanced, Heathcliff is as heroic as its namesake.

Cask-conditioned at No.1 Harbourside, Bristol 14/3/2017. Amber in colour, with a decently sized, off-white, head. A sweet bitter, with hedgerow fruits, caramel, some slightly bready malts and moderately bitter finish. Fine.
