A new take on an old-fashioned classic, Cavendish Red is brewed with a perfectly balanced blend of wheat and barley malts to deliver a deliciously chocolaty, malty flavour. We use a combination of traditional Northdown and East Kent Golding hops to provide a satisfying light bitterness with Bramling Cross hops for a subtle spiciness and a delicately fruity aroma.

Shared with and courtesy of Grumbo with ITFCDan. Aroma of vegy water, toffee and malts. Taste is of wet straw and grains. Not for me.

30/10/2021. Bottle shared with ITFCfan and ITFCDan. Bought direct from the brewery. Pours clear dark amber bronze with a small frothy off-white to beige head. Aroma of malt, chocolate, dark fruits, nut, bread, slight starchy veggie edge. Moderate sweetness and light bitterness. Moderate body, slightly watery, quite fizzy. Was a little disappointed by this one.
