This intensely hoppy, ruby ale was first brewed in April 2010 for St.Georges Day. However, the label actually commemorates a lesser known hero, Dr Gideon Mantell, the original Father of Paleontology. The respected Lewes Doctor has become regarded as the person responsible for clearly identifying the prehistoric reptiles we today refer to as ‘dinosaurs’. The label depicts Dr Mantell discovering his Iguanodon near Cuckfield, in Sussex in 1821.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A deep red beer with a beige head. The aroma has notes of nuts, malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel, lots of fruit, berries - especially strawberries, leading to a dry fruity finish.

Cask at Christian Firtal, Odense. Amber with a lasting off-white head. Big grassy hop aroma with hints of caramel and fruit. Dryish fruity and grassy flavour with strong, resiny green tasting hops. Very bitter for the strength. Delicious beer!
