Whitstable Bay Cask - 4.1%abv. A pale, golden ale, with a distinctive fresh hoppy, orange-citrus nose with hints of vanilla. A cleansing, refreshing, zesty citrus bite balanced with satisfying biscuity notes. This ale has a classic Kentish fresh hop bitterness - ideal for summer drinking.
Late Red -
4.5% abv: “A deep sweetness combining burnt notes with toffee and honey characterise this Autumn ale. The fresh water from the Brewery’s Well balances the Cascade hops, specially grown in Kent, with their resinous note of Autumn leaves.”
Original Porter - 4.8% abv: “Original Porter is a rich dark beer, with an aroma of oranges and dark chocolate. It is a warming, silky smooth ale having full flavoured roasted tones emanating from the malt as well as an underlying liquorice note. The fruity spiciness of this traditional ale comes from locally grown Kentish hops.”
