Bluebird Bitter
3.6% ABV
Malt - Maris Otter pale malt and crystal malt
Hops - Challenger
“It is, quite simply, a wonderful beer. It is exceedingly
pale (21-22 units colour), with just a hint of colour in its
cheeks from the dash of crystal malt. It has a massive orange
fruit aroma from the challengers, balanced by
biscuity malt.
"Juicy malt and tart hops vie for
attention in the mouth while the finish is tart and hoppy
but well balanced by creamy malt. The bitterness rating is
a substantial 36-38. The tangy fruit lingers on the back
of the tongue until it develops a hint of orange liqueur.”

Bluebird Premium XB
4.2% ABV
Bluebird XB combines two of the great themes of ale brewing
to produce something distinctive and new. The fine tradition
of English Pale Ale is about quaffing, refreshment and complexity
of flavour without alcoholic strength. Then throw in new wave
American hop variety Mount Hood with robust citrus aromas and
the result is a smooth ale with floral hints, light malt tones
and a hoppy freshness. |

Old Man Ale
4.2% ABV
Malt - Roasted Barley, Crystal & Pale Ale Malts
Hops - Challenger/Mount Hood
“A radically different beer...
it has roast barley added to the pale and crystal malts. It
has a deep
burnished copper colour, a rich port wine aroma, a big chocolate
and creamy malt palate and a dry, grainy, roasty finish balanced
by hop bitterness and tart fruit. It is a remarkably complex
beer that deepens and changes as you sup it.”

Special Oatmeal Stout
4.5% ABV
Oats are used in the grist of
this beer to give body and
smoothness, enhancing
the roasted barley,
giving it complex
flavours
reminiscent of dark
chocolate and
coffee. This is
balanced by a fresh
hop bitterness and
dry finish.
