Triple XB (XXXB)
Tawny, with a peppery aroma and a fruity, biscuity flavour on a lush, balanced malt body. Maris Otter, crystal, wheat and pale chocolate malts meet Goldings, spicy Challenger and floral Bobek hops. Head brewer Ken Dixon introduced it in 1977, and it became a best-seller. It took Bronze in the Premium Bitter category at CAMRA's Champion Beer of Britain 2023.
