| Beer | ABV % | OG | How the brewery describe their beer on their website | How the Tasting Panel describes it. |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Blunderbuss | 4.2 | An English pale ale that has been brewed to bring out white and summer fruit characteristics. Named after the Blunderbuss, this beer explodes with flavour. Impressing the regular pale ale drinkers as well as the unaccustomed. | Crisp, clean, heady aroma with melon sweetness and other hoppy tropical fruit notes. Some pineapple which develops on the aftertaste. Good malt and citrus hop bitterness which carries through to a long, well-balanced, fresh, drying finish. | |
| Coachman | 3.8 | A refreshing golden ale brewed using the finest English hops. This beer bridges the gap between lager and ale. Clean tasting and thirst-quenching. A delightful, sweet mouthfeel followed by a moreish bitterness, leaving the drinker wanting more. | Restrained honey and caramel aroma with herbal notes. Light body with some citrus bitterness, refreshing cucumber and hop. Good head retention with mild orange notes on the aftertaste. Long, slightly astringent bitter finish. An easy-drinking Golden Ale. | |
| Dawn Run | 4.0 | This superbly crafted light copper best bitter has a well-balanced flavour profile and beautifully sweet malt backbone. Gentle sweetness with caramel and toffee notes, a subtle biscuity character and a restrained bitterness. | Dark Brown, light aroma with some yeast. Toffee malt sweetness is balanced by strong bitterness with hints of plums and damsons. Light bodied and easy drinking. An appealing, long drying finish. A solid, traditional, English hopped session bitter. | |
| Liberty IPA | 4.8 | A straw coloured beer with a citrus and floral aroma. Smooth bitterness followed by deep summer fruits and soft caramel malts. | Bright gently aroma. Soft mouthfeel, light bodied. Malt sweetness is evident with light hoppy-citrus bitterness. Traces of apple, tropical fruits and papaya. Limited aftertaste with some slight astringent bitterness. | |
| Sleighman | 4.5 | Beautiful citrus fruit aromas give way to a delightful rye spice quality. A superb winter warmer. | Awaiting information. |
