Wensleydale Kit Calvert's Traditional Ale Wensleydale Brewery Leyburn, North Yorkshire
Beer style: Bitter - Ordinary / Best Ref: ratebeer.com Jun2024
Common descriptors are Bottle; Special. This traditional style ale has its origins in the 1930s - the time when Kit Calvert’s vision and courage saved the Wensleydale Creamery from closure which then enabled us to make it the thriving business it is today. Just like the Creamery, we’ve brought this beer right up to date whilst preserving the style and flavour of beers of the time. It is a copper-red beer with a yeasty nose, biscuity malt and spicy hops. The finish is dry and bitter and of course delicious. We use only the finest ingredients including British yeast cultured in the brewery and no chemicals - some traditions never die. We’re proud of our beer dedicated to Kit Calvert - we rather think that Kit would be proud too. |
