Lawless Village
Named after Portobello, the Edinburgh seaside district where the brewery began, this copper-coloured beer is brewed in the manner of a traditional American IPA at a modest 4.5 %. Pale and crystal malts lay down a caramel-tinged base, over which Cascade and Centennial bring citrus, chiefly grapefruit, and a floral, lightly piney aroma. The bitterness is moderate at 37 IBU and the finish is citrusy and dry. It is one of the two beers Bellfield launched with.
