Old Ale is a nod to brewing heritage. A full bodied, velvety texture with a hefty aroma of treacle and candied fruit. On the palate, find a light roasted bitterness to offset the malty, almost molasses like sweetness and you have everything you need to sit back and taste tradition brewed with a modern approach

Can. HOTM. Light haze on a coppery amber. Decent sticky pale beige foam. Nose has toffee and caramel malts. Earthy leafy hop. Bit of a well brewed tea thing. Taste is pretty sweet with a nicely leafy hop and vinous bitterness. Good body with fine carbonation. Tangy bitter finish.
