Award winning fresh and aromatic straw coloured beer, brewed with using selected lager malt.
In the past we brewed Otter Bright only in the summer. With the new dawn of interest in cask beer, it is perfectly positioned as a great beer for 'new age drinkers' who are discovering cask ale. It is so pale that it can easily be mistaken for lager and it delivers a great bitter citrus flavour with lots of fizz.
An amber IPA style beer. Lovely colour and a zingy hop finish to get you in the mood. This beer is hopped with US Cascade, Columbus and Citra hops.
A traditional style of ale typical of the East of Scotland. A superb classic with a deep copper hue and light bronze creamy foam. 80/- is brewed using Belhaven yeast and allowed to ferment at a slightly higher temperature. This delivers satisfying malt flavours and layers of soft fruit with a toffee finish.
Malt, toffee and biscuit flavour with a combination of aroma hops from the citrusy Amarillo and a fruity whack of pink grapefruit and tart redcurrant. Biscuity finish.
A robust and agile amber ale, first introduced to our range in 1994, Special Ale carries an explosion of fruit on the aroma and palate with the fruity esters offering notes of raisins and pear drops. The malt blend provides notes of toffee, caramel and biscuit which balances perfectly against those flavoursome British hops. Superbly bittersweet and an icon of our range, Special Ale holds a special place in our heart.
A perfectly balanced beer combining subtle yet complex flavours. This creates an amber ale which is both satisfying and deliciously moreish.
Amber coloured with an amazing woody, spicy nose. Full of soft nutty biscuit flavours with a rounded bitter finish.
This new golden beer is a superbly balanced, refreshing beer, with a malty, sweet aroma, floral, fruity hoppiness, and a complex, zesty flavour.
This beer is a satisfying 4.8% ABV employing choice malt from Berkshire and a touch of golden syrup producing sweet toffee and caramel notes with vinous overtones produced by the special yeast and higher fermentation temperature. Finally Kentish Admiral hops produce a balance and subtle marmalade character.
