Ticks: 5

Some accounts of the Battle of Flodden Field in North Northumberland, suggest that this violent clash resulting in the death of the Scottish King James IV happened when it did because the English Army were running out of beer!

Sadly, we are 505 years too late to quench the thirst of the Earl of Surrey's men, but had this zesty refreshing pale been available at camp in Barmoor, we would have an altogether different history.

Malts: Maris Otter & Golden Promise
Hops: Styrian Wolf, Chinook & Cascade

Draft at pigs Ear. Pale golden, small ring of head. Light grainy aroma, taste is much fuller, but it's the mouthfeel of this brew which sets it apart. Creamy, silky.
