Bullion
Bullion is a golden cask ale of 4.7% from the brewery's regular line, placed in strength between the session beers and the 5.2% Supreme. It opens on malt, light and slightly sweet, then turns hoppy, and a bitterness carries the finish. For its strength the beer comes across as light. It took a bronze award at the Great British Beer Festival in 2000.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Bullion
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.
