A golden mid-gravity bitter with initial sweetness balanced with a moderate hop bitterness. Dry-hopped with Fuggles to give a delicate aroma complimented by a subtle hint of Moor land berry, a favourite with Grouse. Our home town of Masham lies on the eastern edge of the famous Yorkshire Dales in the lower end of Wensleydale, one of the most beautiful areas of the country. Just to the east, lies the Vale of York and beyond the wonderful North York Moors. As such, Masham is in the middle of two of the best moorland areas in the world and home of the uniquely British game bird, the Grouse.
Theakston Grouse Beater is our tribute to the many who keep and protect the moors environment ensuring the future for the famous bird and also for the pleasure of many thousands of visitors that come from all over to enjoy the unique beauty of the countryside. Grouse Beater is brewed using Moorland berries to give a deliciously fruity flavour on a subtle but well balanced bitter.

Cask@GBBF2007. Amber colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is caramel, fruits and much nectar/tropical fruit. Some slight wood is there too. Flavour is bitterness and tropical fruits along with some wood. Aftertaste is mainly nectary.

[i] Cask, gravity at The Rock of Gibraltar Beer Festival, Enslow, Oxon, 01-09-07 [/i] Copper coloured with the merest hint of haze, served a bit too warm in my opinion, beers were served inside the pub on racks with no effort to keep cool. Bizarre candy like aroma, unfortunately this artificial aroma followed through into the mouth, very strange what on earth are Theakston at with this beer? Tastes of sweets, sasparilla, and just totally bonkers not my thing at all, hideous stuff.

Cask Handpull at Muggletons, JDW, Maidstone. Gold/copper colour with thin bubbly off white head. Very perfumed aroma, rose petals and peach/apricot/nectarine fruit. Fine in mouth with some bitterness. Finish has more fresh stone fruit and hop bitterness. Simply bizarre. Good bitter with peach/apricot and nectarine flavours all over it.
