2 pint – The Harper Arms

Marston’s Bombardier – Glorious English

Matt — Mon, 18 Jun 2018 09:28:23 +0000

Savour the distinct aroma, then surrender to the perfect balance of malty richness, tangy hops and sultana fruit on the palate.

Natural mineral water, the ripest English fuggles hops and crushed crystal malt deliver this experience of England in a glass. Brace yourself for a long soft spicy finish.

LandL0rd — Fri, 01 Dec 2017 18:51:30 +0000

Golden Christmas Ale.

Limited run from Wychwood.

Nicely filled with mince pie flavours and still light enough to be a golden ale.

Wild Weather – Babel Tree

Dave — Mon, 18 Sep 2017 11:56:07 +0000

Greene King IPA

Dave — Fri, 09 Dec 2016 09:41:25 +0000

Greene King IPA is an easy drinking, session ale with a hoppy taste and aroma making it clean, crisp and moreish.

Carefully selected pale, crystal and black malts join with Pilgrim, Challenger and First Gold Hops to make a complex, refreshing ale.

Wizard – Robinsons Brewery

Matt — Wed, 08 Jun 2016 18:29:20 +0000

This is the stuff of Cheshire legend (The Wizard of Alderley Edge), combined with 5 English hops, pale, wheat and magical crystal malts.

The result is Wizard, a mythical amber ale with a spell-binding fruity, zesty palate…and a tantalising hint of blackcurrant.
