Tasting note & food match by ALL BEER
| BLACK GOLD | 3.8% ABV | |
![]() |
A well balanced dark mild ale with some bitterness, full bodied, but not overly sweet. An award winning mild that delivers a light fresh taste to one of the more traditional of beer styles.
|
|
| ELSIE MO | 4.7% ABV | |
![]() |
Elsie Mo’s name is derived from the low colour Maris Otter Malt from which she’s exclusively brewed, and which gives her that tantalising golden hue. A blend of hops – Challenger predominating – tempts you with its aroma and leaves a pleasantly crisp aftertaste. | |
| HARVEST PALE | 3.8% ABV | |
![]() |
Described by esteemed beer writer Roger Protz as… “The finest blond beer I’ve drunk in many a year”, Harvest Pale is brewed with a gently-kilned malt, and an aromatic blend of American hops added during the brewing process gives this 3.8% alc pale beer exceptional poise. Its distinct hop flavour leads to a crisp finish. Harvest Pale has firmly established itself as Castle Rock’s Flagship Beer. SIBA National Champion Bitter 2004, Champion Bitter of Britain 2007 and Champion Beer of Britain 2010.
