EBF21 BEER LIST
Last updated: 04thd August 2015 / Steve
Aylesbury Brewhouse (ABC), Aylesbury, Bucks (2011)
King of Men 4.1%
Golden ale brewed with American Simcoe & English Fuggle hops for a subtle floral aroma and a soft bitter citrus finish. In greek mythology Agamemnon was the king of Argos and was called “king of men”. He waged war on the city of Troy with the demi god Achilles.

Pale ale brewed using Dr Rudi, a New Zealand grown hop producing fresh citrus, pine and lemongrass flavours, with a bitter citrus finish.

Andwell Brewing, Hook, Hants (2008)
Golden IPA 4.8%
Malt – Pale malt, Caramalt, Torrified wheat. Hops – Northern brewer, Goldings, Calypso, Citra. Aroma – The American aroma hops provide a fruity aroma. Depending on serving, the most prominent aroma is pink grapefruit and lime when straight from the cask or a softer mango and peach when via handpump. Flavour – Citra is a big hitting with notably lime, passion fruit and mango which arrive after dry hopping for one week. Goldings is added before the boil end and lends a spicy, sweetness that extends the mid palate. The American variety Calypso hop delivers softer fruit flavours of peach and pear which gather the citrus acidity and bitterness into a satisfying whole.
King John – Magna Carta 5.2%
King John Magna Carta is a dark amber strong ale brewed to a royal 5.2% abv. Hopped with the cornerstone of so many historic English beers, Goldings and Fuggle, in a tandem with Sovereign and Celeia for a depth of flavour that leans towards barely wine whilst being dangerously drinkable.
