Beckets Inn

Funky Monkey 4.0%, Pale Ale

Tasting Notes: Pour yourself a long tall glass of this English Pale Ale and linger on the light amber gleam before taking in the captivating aromatics of ripe mango and freshly squeezed grapefruit on the nose thanks to Citra and Mosaic in the hop mix. There is more citrus and tropical fruit on the palate, which are balanced by a subtle bittersweetness, before finishing with a clean bitterness and lasting dryness that encourages you to take another swig (yes, this is a beer to swig rather than sip).

A dark amber coloured beer with a deep red hue traditionally brewed using only the finest quality of Stonehenge Spring water, barley, rye, crystal and wheat malts, whole hops and the brewery's own top-fermenting yeast.

Tasting Notes: The complex malt and fruit flavours develop into a very pleasingly fruity and bitter aftertaste which lingers on.

At 5.8% abv the award-winning Otter Head is their strongest beer. They believe that the key to brewing a great strong beer is to make it well-balanced with a good use of hops. This makes Otter Head easily drinkable and an excellent choice with food.

Tasting Notes: Whilst it has a distinctive barley wine, old ale character it remains light to drink with a malty, fruity and slightly sweet flavour with a long bittersweet aftertaste. The fruit and malt aroma sits well with the beer’s deep, luxurious red/brown colour – still a firm favourite on many bars.
