Viking folklore claimed the Raven had the eyes and ears of Odin himself. Used on long voyages to guide the Viking long ships, these birds were released on the seas and if they did not return, it signalled that land was close.

Raven is an amber pale ale with a fruity and spicy hop aroma, with malt flavours both biscuity and toasty. This is beautifully balanced with a clean spicy orangey bitterness.

Hops: East Kent Goldings, Fuggles
Malts: Pale, Crystal, Malted Wheat
