A refreshing light ale, brewed with English ‘pioneer hops’ giving warm chocolate overtones, tongue tingling hoppiness and a tangy citrus kick.

Cask, Newcastle Arms, N-u-T. Supped before Shearer’s first game in charge at the Toon. Unlike his team’s performance this wasn’t bad at all. Fragrant, grassy hop and some nice juicy citrus tang was the name of the game, leading to a gently bitter finish. Well balanced and refreshing.
