Description
Cricketers Arms was created in 2009 by Paul Scott as a tribute to his father. As a boy he would watch on as his father played cricket and shared beers with the opposing team post-match. With Scott’s passion as a publican and the experience and expertise of brewer Dermot O’Donnell, a contemporary, flavoursome and quality beer was born.

330ml bottle into schooner glass. As Cricketer's Pale Ale. Golden ale with a large white foamy head and many tiny bubbles, looks great. Light aroma of tropical fruit and malt. A little bit of clingy lacing. Light body with the light fruit notes giving way to the malt in the finish. Uncomplicated, easy-drinking beer.
