You’ve tried real ale. And you might think you know what real ale tastes like. But don’t be so shore. This is real exciting real ale. Columbus, Mosaic and Citra come together to give a light fruitiness and a balanced bitter finish all brought together with a lightly toasted biscuit and caramel aroma. Real ale like your grandad’s never tasted. This is punked up proper ale.

Can 44 cl. From light amber to dark gold, almost clear, off-white foam. Aroma: tones of American hops with grapefruit, pine, mango, caramel shades of malt, a little nectar and slightly toasted toast. Taste: sweetish, candy and caramel, a little berry jam, grapefruit and tangerine, a little biscuit, mild bitterness on the finish. Clean, smooth, quite drinkable.

nutty very malty aroma. some hoppy balance but not much flavor is run-of-the-mill european amber ale with a bit of ESB hopping to keep it alive. fair and drinkable and in some ways an interesting way to interprent ESB.

Can thanks to Silke. Amber with a frothy, white head. Gentle caramel and bread aroma. Taste is mildly bitter with faint citric hints at the finish. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Mildly watery texture. Simple, easy-going stuff.
