AMBER ALE
Britain’s enviable reputation for great cask beer was built on the humble but brilliant, ‘best bitter’.
In an era where the style is still enjoyed by millions, it has simultaneously been abandoned by the newest waves of innovative breweries.
So, we wanted to put that right and we are proud to present to you a new arrival into the category for the region to be proud of.
A beautiful amber colour, with perfect balance between finest English Maris Otter malt and classic Southern English hops; malty, clean, moreish.
Fortitude is a 4.0% bitter with attitude.
ALLERGENS: Wheat & barley malt

Hand-pulled half-pint on 9th March 2018, in The Dog and Doublet, Wolverhampton. Amber/brown body, off-white affair on top. Malty lead in the aroma and taste, bready, biscuity, some fruitiness in there too, hops assert themselves towards the finish. Made a change from all the other beers I had drank until walking into here, their other cask ale was on the dark side too, unlike everywhere else selling golden ales.
