St Austell’s most legendary ale, Hicks is fullbodied strong and Cornish, brimming with a kaleidoscope of flavours. Brewed with plenty of malt and lashings of English Fuggles and Golding hops, Hicks is truly a classic ale of considerable depth and complexity.

Cask på Charlie´s bar, Köpenhamn. Kopparfärgad med lågt krämigt skum. Maltfokuserad lätt ESB med fina maltiga smaker med fudge och karamell. Len och krämig och lätt drag av blommig UK-humle. Bra balans, värmande och rejäl och ändå så lättdrucken. Så gott.

Bottle from Tesco, Watford (I think). Poured a slightly hazy amber colour with a thin off-white head. Aroma of stewed fruit, toffee and raisins. Sweetness on the tongue too, with notes of brown sugar, apple pie and meringue. Palate was copper, stale malt and cooked fruit. Not sure if there was something wrong with the bottle, but it tasted more like the packaged dessert isle than the beer one...
