A Masterful Blend of Malt and Hops
The brewers utilise a selection of high-quality malts to provide a deep, copper-coloured base with a distinctive biscuity warmth. Consequently, this creates a balanced profile where the sweetness of the grain meets a subtle, earthy hop character. Additionally, the inclusion of traditional hops adds a refined floral and spicy aroma. This meticulous balance ensures a characterful beer that remains incredibly drinkable and refreshing, even at a lower strength.
