Our Ambler Gambler is a homely honeyed medium body, with a frothy friendliness – European hops enhanced and balanced with Maris Otter and Munich malts, for a pique of perfect pine! The creamy honey flavour is hold your hand smooth, with a lighthearted laugh of floral freshness to make you reach for the next bottle – off the clock with a relaxing companion – you deserve it!

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours an almost murky reddish brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is a strange mix of ash and boozy autumn fruits. A semi-sweet fruitiness is immediate in thw mouth. There’s a mix of oranges, red wine gums, and berry fruits with an underlying caramel base and a slightly oily texture. Finish is fruity and slightly bitter. This is quite nice – refreshing.

330ml can. Pours mahogany, beige head, a crescent shaped retention. Aroma is full on malts, chocolate, a little hoppy fruit note. Taste is semi-sweet malt, chocolate, mild roastiness, some mild orange note. Mild bitterness in the finish. Quite a fattening beer I think. Its needs to be more flavoursome to make the extra waste line worth it!

Cask-conditioned at the Chelsea, Easton, Bristol 26/8/2017. Deep amber in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. Red berries, a hint of citrus, bready malts and some leafy hops, before a moderately bitter finish. A solid best bitter.
