For a limited period only, we've brought back our highly popular Easter ale. This is a dark refreshingly different ale which has proved to be very popular each year. Brewed with pale and roast barley, plus added wheat malts, producing a sweeter edge. Three different hop varieties are used to give this brew a delightful fruit and liquorice aftertaste. No Wabbits were harmed in the production of this ale!
