COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Kick off the 2010 World Cup with a few pints of England’s Dreaming, our 4.5% ABV ale specially brewed to celebrate our 4 yearly attempt at scraping through to the quarter finals. A pale, well hopped bitter, brewed with a hat trick of hops - surely a winner....... COME ON ENGLAND!!!

Cask (GBBF 2010) - Golden in colour. Pinapple and grapefruit (Lilt!) in the aroma. The taste is hoppy with grapefruit, pineapple, malt and hops. Tasty and very refreshing. If only the English football team could be as good as this, we might stand half a chance!

Cask, gravity at The White Horse, Hedgerley, 18th ’Coming of Age’ Beer Festival 29-05-10 Mid gold appearance with some filmy white lacing on top. A little ’cats piss’ on the nose. This has a buzzy tongue tingling hoppiness. There is a steady bitterness throughout. This will almost certainly be one of the better football themed beers for the world cup, it gets an extra mark for that!. Lovely beer. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov16 3.9
