| Doombar – 4.0% (Sharp’s) | Orange amber ale. Notes of dried fruit, lightly roasted malt and a subtle yet assertive bitterness. The bitterness remains into the finish with dry fruity notes |
| Bombardier – 4.1% (Well’s) | A burnished copper colour, it has a rich aroma of peppery hops and raisins, while the palate is dominated by more dark fruit, juicy malt and tangy hop |
| TSB – 4.4% (Oakleaf) | A very pale hoppy ale, with a slight malty taste. The use of ‘Hallertauer Aroma Hops’ gives a floral and vanilla taste and aroma |
