A premium, traditional Irish red ale. Hilden Halt has a malty, mild hop flavour and medium bitterness. This special reserve is named after the local train stop, which used to service the old Barbour linen mill behind Hilden House. At a robust strength of 6.1% ABV, Hilden Halt is our strongest ale so be careful not to get derailed. Hops: Goldings, Challenger and Saaz

(Cask at GBBF, London, 7 Aug 2008) Reddish amber colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, nutty nose with notes of dried fruit and coffee. Malty, nutty taste with spicy hints of dried fruit, apricots and a moderate, spicy bitterness in a fairly dry finish. Initial malt sweetness turns drier towards the end. I’m not really a fan of Irish red ales, but this one was quite nice and tasty.
