Wristy Fitzy was Harry,s first darker beer. At 4.6% this chestnut ale uses two types of malt and has a smooth richness in taste ending with a creamy satisfying finish. This autumn favourite has proved very popular at local hostelries. The beer is named after another popular local cricketer, Paul Fitzpatrick. Paul played for Hartshorne in the early 2000?s and was also able, whilst playing for the club to introduce his two young sons, Tom and Dan to league cricket. Paul was reknowned for his ability to turn the ball sideways with his particular style of wrist spin. Paul was also famous for his very loud appeals, but also played the game in the right way, with a smile always on his face.

Deep amber with a small bubbly white head and a mellow caramel malt and hop aroma. Light bodied with just a touch of creaminess, caramel malt, floral hops and a dry bitter finish.

Halifax Beer Festival. Copper with a thin head. Has a sweet nose and a bitter-sweet flavour with some grainy malt evident.
