Pretoria was originally brewed as one of our award winning ‘Film Themed’ Beers as ‘Saving a Pint for Ryan’ and renamed after the local coal mine, where in 1910, 344 miners lost their lives in the worst ever Lancashire pit disaster.
It is a perfectly clean yellow gold ale with big assertive lemon sherbet hops; juicy but dry and bitter with just a pinch of sourness. There follows a faint taste of pale malt in the finish to add a touch of balancing sweetness to all the bitter lemon.

Cask at the Live & Let Live, Cambridge, England on 15th August 2009. This review refers to the 4.4% version of this ale, known as "Pretoria". Gold with lasting off-white foamy head. A little initial yeastiness (earth) followed by a refreshingly crisp hoppiness making the beer more-ish. A dry bitter finish on a slightly textured mouthfeel afforded by good condition. A delicious session ale.
