Yorkshire Terrier
Fruit and hops lead flavour and aroma, with a dash of Crystal malt underneath and a bitter finish. The original York Brewery ale, it is a golden single-hop ale built on UK-grown Challenger alone, so every hop note you taste comes from one British variety. At 4.2 % ABV it is brewed as a traditional Yorkshire best bitter.
