Up until the mid-1980s, Pale Ale was a popular brand in the Theakston range of bottled beers and throughout the UK but with changing consumer fashions and the resurgent interest in cask conditioned beers, the popularity of a one-time mainstay of the British beer industry faded. But, as they say ‘what goes round comes around’ and once again Pale Ale has returned on a wave of popularity encouraged by the growing consumer interest in new world craft keg ales. This wonderful news has encouraged us to brew Pale once again this time with a modern twist. Cold filtered and unpasteurised, the process has enabled us to produce a beautifully hop-forward pale-coloured beer using a mix of new world hops noted for their refreshing and aromatic characteristics in a mash of Munich malts.

Clear amber gold with a chill haze, a creamy white head and a soft biscuit malt aroma. Fresh and a touch zesty, chewy biscuit malt, a hop kick, some citrus bitterness and a dry finish.

Bottle. Amber with a 1/2cm white head. Aroma of boiled citrus lollies, light bread. Moderately sweet and a bit biscuity with building bitterness. Citrus and weedy hops notes are strongish but not vibrant. OK.
