The original site at Southerness was beside the Solway with the Criffel mountain range behind. This adjoined the birth place of John Paul Jones and like him our premium “Criffel” ale can be a bit of a brigand. Strong, rich and dark amber, with a distinct character of it’s own, largely attributable to three specially selected hop varieties this is brewed with.

Cask gravity at Kent BF 2006. Hazy gold with thin off white head. Odd flavours of fruity malt and then very strong hop finish (resiny hop). May develop over a day or 2 to be brilliant. One to come back to later in the festival. It has presence. Whiskyish malt aroma. Spicey hop finish

Deep golden. Flowery and malty with rounded mouthfeel and really bitter finish.
