The beer has a smooth and full presence inthe mouth, packed with flavour and chockfull of English hops. Vanilla beer, this is a golden ale that balances out sweet vanilla flavours with some equally fragrant and punchy hops. Please note this is a beer that's strongly flavoured with vanilla and one that is definitely a talking point. Not for the cautious.
Mary’s’ Ruby Mild is an award winning, silky smooth beer. Full of aroma and character with a Port like 6.5 ‘nose’. Carefully crafted to a higher than average ABV in order to capture the flavours of an old style ruby mild. So... lightly hopped but certainly not weak.
