Wilde Child

A simple grain bill of pale and wheat malts backed up by the winning combination of Cascade and Citra hops equal one perfectly sessionable beverage. Vegan friendly.

5% Premium Bitter
Warming, malty and fruity. Pale and amber malts contribute to a mouth filling and satisfying 'Horlicks' and biscuity maltiness. Challenger and First Gold give a base note of herbal hop and Fuggle as a late hop contributes the main fragrant fruity and floral and spicy notes. Fermented slowly to give just enough fruity esters providing a complex, satisfying and warming experience.
