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.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours brown, with very fine cream foam. Aroma is a little malty and herbaceous, earthy. Body is somehow above average, with moderate carbonation. Taste is medium sweet. Final is average.

Foamy off white head on a Coca-Cola coloured body.
Malt, pine, red berry & herbal aroma.
Medium bodied, smooth & creamy thinning out to a clean back.
Red berry, pine, biscuit, treacle, resinous & fruity tastes with a lightly hopped tangy finish.
That's a tasty number.
