Fursty Ferret
Fursty Ferret is a pale amber ale at 4.4 %, auburn to copper in colour. The nose combines malt with floral and lemony hop notes from Celeia and Centennial. On the palate it is full-bodied, biscuity and rounded, with a zesty hop edge over a base of ale and crystal malt. The name recalls a ferret with a taste for beer whose story is tied to the Gribble Inn. It is brewed all year and is a regular on cask in the brewery's pubs, where it is poured at a lower strength.
