Yuletide
A spiced winter ale, first brewed in 2007 and later brought back in a form reworked by the head brewer. A long list of East Anglian malts – pale ale, Munich, chocolate, amber, two dark crystal malts and red rye – gives coffee and chocolate notes. Strata and Ella hops and an undisclosed blend of seasonal spices, adjusted from year to year, add orange pith, pine and light floral tones, and the finish is gently spicy.
