Ash & Elm is a pale golden beer with a smooth body. The malt gives flavours of digestive biscuit behind resinous pine and citrus from the hops, with a subtle hint of spice in the background from rye.

My kind of beer. Good malty body, packed full of piney, citrus hops, with a great bitterness in the finish.

Keg @ Fox And Goose, Hebden Bridge. Amber-gold with a creamy-frothy head. Feels heavier in the palate than its strength might suggest therefore its decent tropical and stewed mix of fruits are deep tasting. Light bitter finish.
