Edinburgh Gold
Deep gold under a crisp white head, with a complex aroma of noble hops and a touch of caramel sweetness. Continental hops and moderate bitterness lead into a smooth finish. The name honours HMS Edinburgh, the Royal Navy cruiser that sank in 1942 carrying Soviet gold; in 1981 divers recovered over 400 bars. Gold at the 2026 SIBA Indie Beer Awards. 4.8 % ABV.
