Double Diamond was the biggest selling beer of the 1970s as the keg revolution took the UK by storm. Hated by CAMRA, loved by customers (including the late Prince Philip) Double Diamond is now available for the first time in decades, brewed to a new and improved recipe.

Brewed as Pale Ale, Drinks like a Lager. Tastes Bloody Wonderful!

Nose is grapefruit, lemongrass, gooseberry. Bitter citrusy taste. Lightly hoppy finish. Wasn't the original Double Diamond a lot darker than this 🤔?

Keighley & Worth Valley Railway Beer Festival 2024. Golden coloured. Hoppy brew with an underlying fruitiness. Crisp keg pour.

Keg at The Hole in the Wall, Waterloo. Aroma has low key fruit. Slightly bitter edge. Underlying shy malts. Clear light gold. Foamy translucent white head. Light bitter. Grainy. Slightly woody. With an equally limp citrus streak. Light. Thin. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Borefest. And ideas smoked? Really?!
