5.2%Seasonal:
NoDescription:Cask; Regular. Previously brewed at 5.0%.
Appearance: brown to red in the glass.
Nose: generously malty with subtle hop notes and hints of fruity fermentation esters.
Palate: nutty crystal malt to the fore, with a hint of chocolate malt roastiness, leading into a satisfyingly balanced malt hop middle. The end is nutty, with a lingering hop note.
Summary: a rewarding world class premium ale made with maris otter pale ale malt & dash of chocolate malt, with two classic english hops for bitterness and aroma. St magnus is a beer with a fabulous malt hop balance. If it’s well vented the hops just win through in the flavour profile.
