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.

Cask handpull at Wenlock Arms. Reddish brown with slight haze. Thin white head. Vinous strawberry. Some yeast, alcoholic heat on end, some malt. Just a bit messy. Some fruit syrup on aroma. Some sourness too towards the end.
