ABV c5.0%

A full flavoured, fruity premium beer with hints of butterscotch, carefully balanced with bitterness from Fuggles, First Gold and Herzbrucker Haler hops. Winner of the Best Beer in Festival at the Cumbria Food & Drink Festival at Rheged in May 2004.
ABV c3.0%
Crisp chocolate malt flavour, smoothed with liberal crystal malt and carefully controlled fermentation to give a full stout-like palate with balanced bitterness from Fuggles, and Goldings and just a hint of Herzbrucker Hallertau.
ABV c6.0%
A smooth blend of crystal, chocolate and pale ale malts modestly bittered with East Kent Goldings and First Gold hops, then finished with a late addition of Styrian Goldings to give that classic liquid Christmas pudding flavour.
ABV c4.4%
A pale refreshing but substantial bitter, produced from Maris Otter malt, with subtle notes of Golding, Northdown and Challenger hops and a refreshing, almost citrus, late hop note from Pioneer and Caskade.
ABV c4.0%
Straw coloured bitter, substantially hopped with traditional Goldings and Challenger hops, moderated by the use of malted oats alongside Maris Otter pale ale malt to give an exceptionally smooth finish.
ABV c3.7%
A true session bitter; largely Maris Otter pale ale malt with just enough crystal malt to round the flavour. A classic combination of Goldings, Fuggles and Herzbrucker Hallertau provides the bitterness, finished with a hint of Styrian Goldings.
ABV c4.2%
Deep amber colour and a full nutty malt character are complemented by a complex hop bitterness derived from a subtle blend of Kent Goldings, Fuggles and Herzbrucker Hallertau copper hops finished with aromatic Styrian Goldings.
ABV c3.7%
"Refreshing ale for fell wanderers". A pale coloured zesty beer, late hopped with Pioneer to give a hint of grapefruit.
