Description
We are Fyne Ales, a family-owned Scottish farm brewery. When our brewery was founded in 2001, the goal was not only to make the best quality beer, but to bring jobs, industry and tourism to our community and our quiet corner of rural Scotland. We’ve continued brewing in this spirit ever since. Drawing water from the hills and brewing in converted farm buildings, we create modern, ambitious and progressive beers in a wide variety of styles.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Dull orangey-amber with a thin off-white head and a light carbonation. Decent condition as usual for this 'Spoons. Malty with toasted brown bread and a little caramel. Some light marmalade and blackberry notes. Dry finish. More like a bitter than a brown ale, but grew on me after a meh start.

Can from Oban Beer Seller. It pours dark brown to black with a decent beige head. The aroma is dark roasted malt, charred, umami, salty liquorice, coffee grounds, cacao nibs, dark chocolate, malt loaf and molasses. The taste is firmly dry, bitter, charred, burnt toast, umami, liquorice, ashy, dark chocolate, cacao nibs, espresso coffee, light acidity, cracked black pepper and tar with a bitter, dark roasted finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Inspected.a bit more support from the nitro carbonation, maybe the keg version would.be better. Decent, if a touch too charred and ashy.

[Cask at The Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell.] A dull copper coloured pour with a white rim; sweet toasted malt aroma; quite sweet and syrupy in the mouth with some red fruits and malts; then a dry bready finish with a tart berry bitterness and bramble aftertaste. Very enjoyable.

Wetherspoon Spring Beer Festival 2026, Beer#16. Very mildly hazed deeper golden coloured ale. Hoppy-sweet, but undistinguished beyond this.
