Type 42

Irving & Co

4.2% abv

A robust best bitter with a deep ruby red hue obtained from the use of a generous addition of crystal malt. This beer balances sweet hedgerow berry notes with a long roasted malt finish and a deep bitterness from the English Pilgrim hops used in the copper and the hopback.

Frigate - 3.8%

Frigate

Irving & Co

3.8% abv

Golden bitter with citrus hop flavour derived from the addition of English Sovereign and Boudicea hops in the hopback. Complemented by a background sweetness from the subtle use of light crystal and cara-malt.

Elderado - 3.5%

Elderado

Bowman Ales

3.5% abv

A subtle injection of Elder flowers defines this beer. Unlike some other brews of this type, there is no heavy floral scent, but more of the tiniest hint of this spring bloom. This beer has plenty of character and a lovely bitter finish.

Doom Bar - 4%

Doom Bar

Sharp's

4% abv

A perfectly balanced beer combining subtle yet complex flavours. This creates an amber ale which is both satisfying and deliciously moreish.

IPA - 3.4%

IPA

Greene King

3.4% abv

An easy drinking and refreshing IPA. Fresh dry hop, herbal character is provided by the mix of Challenger and First Gold hops. The use of crystal malt in the grist gives a satisfying toffee/caramel note and the addition of a little black malt adds just enough astringency to give a clean, dry finish. The ABV has been reduced from 3.6% due to the recent duty rules.

Abbot Ale - 5%

A bright blonde ale, with delicate citrus notes, a fragrant hoppiness on the nose and a long lemongrass, grapefruit, scented hop palate from the infusion of Cascade, First Gold and Challenger hops.
