Ale

Lighter & refreshing ales

Lighter & refreshing

Blonde and pale ales have been championed by brewers for many years now, and there’s such a diverse range of hop varieties being grown. Each one brings with it the distinctive juicy flavour, malty character and interesting story from its corner of the world

Keep things light

Amber Ales

Amber

Achieving the balance between the malt barley’s sweet, toffee, caramel flavours and the dry, moreish, bready nature of the hops is something that classic British amber ale does really well. These are light to medium bodied and often similar in style to American pale ales

FInd a gem

Dark & full-bodied ales

Dark & full-bodied

Like coffee beans, malted barley is toasted or roasted – the longer it’s cooked for, the richer the flavours become. Brewers use a blend of different malts to create these chestnut-brown coloured, full-flavoured, complex, deep, smooth and moreish ales

Robust characters

Golden

These ales were introduced to the UK in the 1980s by smaller breweries who wanted to give younger drinkers a lighter, more refreshing alternative to mainstream lager and stout. They’re made only with pale malt, which gives citrussy, tropical fruit flavours and a texture that glows with the warm and reassurance of sunshine
