Light, crisp lager, with a slight zestiness and a pronounced smoothness

A medium-bodied barley wine that combines dried fruit on the palate with a lingering pithy finish

Roasty and chocolatey, this uses Fairtrade single-estate coffee from the Gatsinga Farm in Rwanda

Nils Oscar''s interpretationof the classic altbier ticks all the right boxes - soft malty sweetness, before a grassy, sappy finish that shows some gentle drying bitterness.

A hoppy, aromatic all-malt brew where the special malt brings a remarkably pleasant malt character. It is fresh tasting and smooth as becomes a Dortmunder Export style beer.

A great stab at the new-world IPA style. Piney, citrussy, some floral notes float dreamily across the palate before a well-bittered finish

Not as sweet as some of its American counterparts, but wonderfully complex. Will get better with a couple of years'' cellaring, should you be able to resist it for that long

Liberal dosing with Amarillo hops gives this IPA a citrussy edge, which overlays a solid malt body

Copper-coloured lager, broadly in the Vienna/marzen style. Medium bodied, sweetish on the palate, drying nicely to a nutty, bready finish.

Hopped with Fuggles and Amarillo, this is a splendidly complex porter that carreis notes of cocoa, dried fruit and hints of caramel well into its long finish.
