Tongham TEA
Malt leads in this amber ale: caramel and malty notes, with the hops providing balance rather than bite, and a lingering malt sweetness that runs into a long, satisfying finish. Tongham TEA (Traditional English Ale) is 4.2%, was first brewed in August 1992 and is made with Fuggles hops, many grown in the brewery's own hop garden, and water drawn from the chalk beneath the Hogs Back ridge.
