Dark ruby hoppy ale.
Named in honour of a local Brewster from 1890. Extra special bitter, full and fruity with a lingering hoppy finish. The hops are Bullion (one of the original high alpha hops from 1919) and Boadicea. Dark brown in colour.

10/6/2022. Cask at the 17th Braintree Real Ale Festival. Pours clear dark amber bronze with a small bubbly/frothy white head. Aroma is rich, fruity, berries, milk chocolate, toffee, biscuit. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness, hint of berry tart. Medium body, creamy, soft carbonation. Nicely done. Our beer of the festival.
