This new beer making use of a new (ish) hop from Charles Faram hop merchants, the beer is based on a traditional British IPA style.
We’re delighted that this new ale came 4th in the Battle of the Beers at Newcastle Beer Festival April, 2017. since the competition we have tweaked the beer again and launched it on a permanent basis.
Brewed with British Goldings and Olicana Hops this is a fantastic sessionable British IPA.

Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts. Clear amber with small white head. Aroma is sweet with biscuit, grains, straw, zest, light fustiness. Taste again is quite grain/straw noted, a sweet medicinal resin, light boiled fruit, dry and grassy bitterness in the finish. Chewy near medium body. OK.
