Small BeerAvailable January This is a 'Small beer' only by name, with an impressive depth of flavour for its 2.8% ABV strength. Small beer is a dark mahogany beer with a sweet floral aroma, and a body crammed with malt and a slight hint of blackcurrants. This is a perfect Christmas antidote, lower in alcohol but without forgoing flavour. 2.8% ABV |
