A complex blend of choice coloured malts and English Ale Malt balanced by invert sugar and Golding hops. A darker more traditional ale with a very distinct taste.

1849 is a very hoppy ale brewed in a very traditional way with a pleasant subtle after-taste.

Bottle, LLH, Crosby. Poured a deep reddy brown. Carbonation was horrible and the slight metallic tang to the flavour did it no favours either. Bitter finish. A chore to drink and verging on drain pour material. How the hell did this win a gold medal? I’m yet to drink a decent Holt’s brew.....
