1890 X Ale
1890 X Ale is a mild in the style of the late 19th century, meant to be served young and unaged, and part of the brewpub's heritage series honouring a site where beer has been brewed since 1788. Traditional floor-malted barley meets Goldings and Fuggles hops. Caramel and a malty, biscuity character lead. At 5.4% it is strong for a mild, and it is vegan.
