Hi All,
In my local CO-OP this morning, I discovered two new Adnams bottled beers (below descriptions are from Adnams' website)...
Lighthouse 3.4% The Lighthouse recipe is based on an award-winning beer that we used to brew called 'Champion Pale Ale'. This is a traditional pale ale brewed with traditional ingredients. We use Maris Otter malted barley, which is one of the oldest varieties of barley still grown commercially. We also use some Crystal malted barley to add a touch of caramel and toffee. The hop blend is made up of two traditional tall hop varieties called Fuggles and Goldings. These hop varieties have been used together for decades, because they work so well together. They give beer a spicy, herbal tone that fills the palate.
Gunhill 4.0% This beer can be described as a dark mild. We use a blend of 4 different malts to give a rich dark beer that belies its low ABV. The toffee, chocolate and spicy flavours come from the Chocolate, Crystal and Aromatic malted barleys and the sweetness left from the Tipple malted barley is balanced by the bitterness from the Boadicea hops.
I'm looking forward to opening those tonight!
