A tribute to the local climbers who scale the limestone crags found over the hill from the brewery.

A robust dark copper ale using roasted malts, big tasting American hops and West Coast yeast for a hop forward style ale.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol, 8 May 2018. Amber in colour with a slight, off-white, head. Leafy hops, some caramel, hedgerow fruits, ripe malts and a moderately bitter finish. Good.

On cask @ the Bow Bar. Golden amber with a decent head. It definitely is distinctively limey on the nose. Some grain and apple notes too. More of the same on the taste. Light to medium bodied with a creamy yet dry texture and a long dry finish. Solid and interesting.
