COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Bottle conditioned only.
Originally produced for the wholesaler LWC Jollys at the, now defunct, Ring O Bells brewery in Cornwall. After the closure of Ring O Bells, Jollys changed the branding of a number of the bottled beers to Carn Brea and moved production (via Keltek) to Hepworth. The recipes may differ from the originals.

Scuttled is made with a blend of Pale, Crystal and Black barley, with good English hops.

bluekuma (94) - London, Greater London, ENGLAND - DEC 28, 2006

Bottle conditioned. Amber-hued with a thin white head. Strong, inviting aroma of hops & roast malt which follows through to a good balance of sweet malty/ spicy hop flavours. Umm, this is good stuff. English bottle-conditioned ales; I’ve had some right mingers lately but this restores my faith!

harrisoni (9614) - Ashford, Kent, ENGLAND - SEP 18, 2006

LCRBM2. Amber colour with thin beige head. Caramel and hop aroma. Hops are pretty good on end. Tingly. Not bad. Good malt/hop balance throughout with a very good hoppy finish.

Fin (5490) - Merton, Oxfordshire, England, Oxfordshire, ENGLAND - SEP 15, 2006

Bottle, picked up by my dad from Cornwall. Like it’s stablemate ’Dreckly’ this pours a fairly standard brown colour but with a smaller off white frothy head. Some hops and malts in the aroma, bit dry, quite bitter and hoppy tasting again another beer from Ring O Bells that is absolutely fine but hardly exciting.

jbrus (4989) - Delft, NETHERLANDS - SEP 14, 2006

Bottled, LCRBM. Aroma of sweet prune. Brown color, beige head, good lace. Sweet, prune, butterscotch, light roasted, lots of hops. Dry mouthfeel.

[2nd Low Countries RateBeer Meeting] Aroma of hops, some malts. Hazy, brown-red coloured with a thin, off-white head. taste is sweet, bitter, hoppy, some caramel malt, some wood. Dry, medium bodied beer, quite good.

Bart (2332) - Brussels, BELGIUM - SEP 12, 2006

Brownish coloured with a small off-white head. Strong aroma, hops, little fruity, sometimes wandering off to a soapy touch. Medium body, with a longer and dryer hoppy finish.

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20

JorisPPattyn (6428) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - SEP 12, 2006

Hazy amber-mossy beer with a small ring for a head. Very hoppy nose, nearly USA, and a bit of kiwi fruit. Dry, dry, dry. Cardboard flavours, but with dry hops, orange zeste, hop bales. Light to medium bodied quite slick. A surprisingly good Southern English interpretation of an American pale ale.
