Drink %
Arbor Light 3.6

An extremely clean session beer, lovely hop aroma. Satisfying clean sharp bitterness right the way through with a dry finish, but this beer has plenty of body.

Tasting Notes: 

Black Christmas 6.1

It's essentially a porter/stout hybrid combining the qualities of an old ale so fairly trad in style.

Tasting Notes: A lot of depth here and fairly complex but not without hop bitterness and extremely deceptive. Lots of complex lingering flavours, very warming, well rounded finish.

Caskade 4.3

Big citrus nose and lovely whack of hops develop beautifully in this highly quaffable beer.

Tasting Notes: Intense citrus flavours blend well with the lager malt without being over powering. It’s not just the extremely satisfying crisp dry finish that makes this another really special beer.

Earl Grey Bitter 4.2

It is a golden brown coloured English ale brewed using 3 English hop varieties with the addition of some dark crystal malt. Giving extra depth and a dry hop bitterness.

Tasting Notes: Beautiful hoppy, fruity aroma. Warm malty start, with slight toffee notes, soon gives to dry hoppy bitterness developing into a lasting dry and complex finish making you want more.

Flower Power 5.3

A full on pale ale with a big hop presence. Dry and packed full of complex flavours.

Tasting Notes: Huge hop nose on this. Warmth of malt soon gives to big citrus grapefruit and slightly herby hop flavours. It eventually develops into a complex lasting finish.

Hartington Bitter 4.0

A classic well hoped session beer. Deep malt and hop aroma slightly floral with spicy notes. Bitterness and lovely liquid malt combine in perfect balance followed by a satisfying dry finish.

Tasting Notes: 

Hartington IPA 4.5

Malty nose combined with delicate hop aroma. Very smooth on the palate, maltiness dominates joined with subtle pear notes from the hop. Lightly sweetish but unmistakable finish.

Tasting Notes: 

Magic Mushroom 3.8

This dark mild contains roast barley and crystal malts but uses lactose to increase body and texture without increasing the abv thus making it drink more like a 4.3 % than a 3.8.

Tasting Notes: Sweet aroma, distinctive mix of roast malty flavours combine with that milk stout character winding up with a smooth finish.

Marynka 3.3

Single hop summer session IPA. Beautiful resiny hop and really good aroma from these Marynkas with plenty of body to match. Extremely well balanced and very quaffable.

Tasting Notes: 

Riwaka 3.8

A light golden session ale featuring the holy grail of hops Kiwi style.

Tasting Notes: Hoppy/malty nose, then after the initial clean dry bitterness it gradually envelopes the whole mouth as the complex hop flavours build more and more, only finishing after the next gulp which cleans the palate starting you all over again.

Snow White 4.9

A take on a Bavarian weissebier comes cloudy. Fresh ground coriander is used to add dimension and flavour to this beautiful drink.

Tasting Notes: Sweet spicy slight banana and orange aroma. Rich smooth texture and spicy orange flavours combine to make this a special beer. Sweet complex finish.
