ALMONDBURY OLD
is a traditional Old Ale, a style which has enjoyed a
renaissance among the new breed of micro brewers. It
is a rich tawny ale with a subtle roasted malt flavour
and a distinct hop character in the style of the Old
Ales' of fifty years ago, darker and richer
than a Bitter but lighter and hoppier than a Brown Ale or
Porter. This beer style has a wide appeal, especially
with younger drinkers. Brews 40 pints.
