1880 Export Pale
1880 Export Pale belongs to the brewpub's heritage series, which explores classic and forgotten British beers to honour a site where beer has been brewed since 1788. Inspired by late 19th-century recipes, it uses traditional floor-malted barley with Goldings, Fuggles and Hallertauer Mittelfrüh. The result is bitter and rich, with notes of honeysuckle, cedar and English hedgerow, at 5.5%. It is vegan.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for 1880 Export Pale
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
