London Brick
A red ale brewed with rye malt, caramalt and crystal on a Maris Otter base and hopped with Centennial and Simcoe. The aroma is restrained: earthy, woody scents over a denser layer of marmalade and citrus. On the palate the rye shows at once with cinnamon and dry spice, followed by a treacle-like richness, pine, juicy hop fruit and a jammy malt sweetness. The body is full and creamy; the finish turns dry and bitter with a peppery note.
