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!

JorisPPattyn (6727) - 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.
