The Chancer
An orange-golden ale brewed with pale, Munich, crystal and wheat malts, which give it a rounded, lightly bready base. Amarillo is the only hop and carries the aroma on its own: orange peel and apricot over a soft floral note, with tropical fruit behind them. Bitterness stays restrained and the finish runs dry rather than sweet, which keeps it drinkable at strength. In the range since 2004, and one of the recipes that has been there longest.
