The brief was to create an iconic ale for The Thames Path National Trail who were looking to a way of raising awareness and also a way to raise money towards the upkeep of the Thames Path. It was agreed that a golden ale that would satisfy the broadest of demographics was required and therefore a combination of traditional and contemporary hops were used in the brew. The result is a 4.5% full bodied golden with a gentle bitterness and a lingering but restrained fruity finish.

For the May release of our Tap exclusive sour series we took our standard pale Philly Sour base beer and infused it with fresh sorrel leaves. The herbs compliment the base sour flavours perfectly, developing further fresh, bright lemony tartness, with a subtle herbal character in the finish

The third of our Tap exclusive range of sour beers takes the same pale Philly Sour fermented base beer and adds over 30g/litre of pureed rhubarb. Sweet rhubarb fruitiness up front leads into a clean and refreshing tangy sour finish.
