Mid amber colour with a rich butter-toffee aroma. Fruity and slightly nutty.
Premium quality pale ale malt, with an extra proportion of crystal malt, and increased hops, gives this beer its renowned ‘nutty’ flavour and punch. Very much a cruiserweight, it catches up with you unawares! First brewed in 1982, the beer takes its name from the numerous beech trees synonymous with the area.

*Old rating, cask in the UK. Nice malty Ale. The typical yeast characteristics is there, the body is full with malty aroma, smooth and easy to drink. For the ABV nice and round, moderate bitter in the aftertaste with nice nuts and malt.
