The Rev. James Original is rich and well-balanced with a mellow malty flavour that unexpectedly gives way to a clean, refreshing finish.
The Rev. James ales are based on an original recipe from 1885, and named in honour of brewing legend the Rev. James Buckley, saver of souls and satisfier of thirsts.
Brewed with our exclusive Buckleys yeast, they each deliver a signature taste with a surprising finish.

Clear red-amber beer. Light aroma of malt and fruit. Taste is a splash of tangy fruit and.... very little else, in truth. A bit of citrus, some hop but it’s a bit watery and limp. There’s a touch of bitter, malty aftertaste but it really does nothing.

RBESG 2016 in Barcelona, Grand Tasting. 500 ml clear bottle, ABV 4.5%. Copper colour. Toffee, grain and dust in the aroma. Toffee and too weak hops in the fairly uninteresting flavour.

500ml bottle. Amber colour with a two finger off-white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, fruit, light spice. Taste also of sweet caramel malt, fruits, with a little hop bitterness at the end, it’s really well balanced. Nothing outstanding but easily drinkable.
