The Constable
A deep-golden ale in the English manner at just 3.4 per cent, where crystal and pale malts bring more caramel body than the strength would allow for. Galaxy and Topaz hops put passionfruit and citrus over a floral, faintly earthy base, and the bitterness holds at 28 IBU instead of falling away. Marketed as a copper ale, it drinks like a session bitter rebuilt with Australian hops.
