Our Special English Ale is a robust and full bodied Premium Ale.
We use chocolate malt to give it a deep copper colour and the finest English hops give the ale a hint of berries. It's a well balanced, smooth and moreish ale.

Half pint, gravicask from the stage bar at St Albans Beer Festival ’14. Dissipating bubbly white head. Clear dark amber coloured body. Caramel malts on the nose. Blended taste of brown malts, red fruits, and grass. Malty bitterness to the ending. Medium bodied. Fair enough (25.09.2014).

Cask at the Lower Red Lion, St Albans on 16th May 2014. Deep copper with thin decaying off-white foam. Malty aroma with leafy herb notes. Leafy herbiness in-mouth with sweet berry fruits and solid malt. Fruity finish with touch of fresh apple and a citric tang on the tongue. Light mouthfeel and fair amount of body.
