Description
Our real ales are hand crafted with the local palate in mind, and to exacting standards. We take great pride in the production of our products which are brewed traditionally, with no concentrates, colourings or extract and with accent on the taste of yesteryear. When was the last time you savoured the aroma of a mass produced beer, or tasted its wholesome natural flavour?

Cloudy light brown. The aroma is dull, maybe a bit malty. Nutty, but a bit phenolic. Not a good one, really, and the second time with phenol issues from this brewery.

Golden, a little bit dull. The aroma is caramel lameness. The palate is sweet, with candied fruits, still some caramel and maybe some burnt electric phenols.
