Inspired by an X ale recipe from Scottish brewers Thomas Usher, around 1885.
We used Redemption Brewings house yeast, which can be traced back in its origins to the Scottish and Newcastle brewery. Such a characterful aroma, full of great memories. The malts were a secret blend of high melanoidin malts to try and recreate the mild malts of the time.
Our modern twist was using a new UK hop varietal, Mystic. Lots of gooseberries, lime, a little sulphury and maybe some very delicate peach or apricot and then quite mineraly also.

Keg at the Axe - Stokey. Pours clear honey-gold with a super tight, creamy white head. Nice bready pale malt character with touches of English yeast, ripening citrus, light bitter hay. Light bodied with massaging carbonation. Sweet bready malts in the finish, biscuits. Nicely balanced and tasty.
