Our most hop-forward beer in almost two decades of brewing. We began with a brand new blend of pale malts which provide a soft, clean base for an octet of the punchiest, most vibrant American hops in both leaf and pellet in the whirlpool, followed by a double dry-hop during and after fermentation. The result is a blast of herby citrus zest flavours and aromas, paired beautifully with the smooth yellow haze in our first unfined cask ale. Gluten free and vegan friendly.

A red ale made using all-British ingredients, beginning with a blend of pale malts and carapils elevated by the late addition of black and crystal malts. Together lending colour and flavour to the pale ale base with a hint of caramelised biscuit, currants and berries. For the first time in the range, we've single-hopped this beer with Harlequin, a vibrant and increasingly popular British hop. Known for its complex yet mellow bitterness and tropical fruit notes, Harlequin perfectly complements the ale's crystal-clear, vibrant colour. Gluten free and vegan friendly.
