In collaboration with Vocation Brewery, Grizzly is a traditional American Brown Ale packed full of Columbus, Cascade, Centennial, HBC 472, Sabro and Simcoe hops.

Grizzly lets the character of hops and malts shine through to give a delightfully balanced malty beer that packs big hop flavour and aroma. Show Less

Can@ home. Almost clear brown body under a big, foamy tan head. Nice aroma of malt, chocolate, toffee and a touch of red berries. Taste is slightly sour with malt, light caramel, hint of chocolate and moderate bitterness. Not what I consider an American brown ale.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A dark brown pour with a fast fading beige head; piney aroma; rather thin in the mouth with a rich malty taste ; then an earthy but watery finish.

330ml can via Beer52. Poured into my lovely Gordon's thistle shaped glass at home on 11th September 2025. Clean dark brown body, full foaming crust of lightly tanned bubbles on top. A little harsh in the mouth, with an earthy bitterness, gets softer as it warms, woody/twiggy leanings, it's different, but not really to my liking.

Clear dark brown pour with a stable white head. Aromas of roasted malt, milk/cream, vanilla. Taste is Oasted malt, toffee/caramel, cream/milk, some herbs for a decent bitter finish. Nice.

Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 13th January 2024. Intense dark brown with pale tan foam and full lacing. Chocolate and caramel malt aroma. Mild cherry fruits, zesty orange peel and dark chocolate in-mouth and a roasty malt finish. Light body and an engaging mouthfeel.
