The first beer produced by our world famous brewery. An appealing reddish brown beer with a pronounced hop and malt aroma, the malt tending towards treacle. Slightly sweet and malty on the palate, with distinct orangy tones. The full finish is malty and hoppy a hint of toffee.

[August 2022] A proper old school bitter, pours dark amber/light brown with a creamy white head and aromas of malt and some floral hops. Sweet and malty, with brown sugar vibes, and just a hint of light floral bitterness in the finish
