Classic US West Coast hops layer in pine and citrus.
Track makes some of the best modern classics around, so we were thrilled to welcome them to Bakewell for a brew on our Union system. Together we developed a recipe for an American Brown Ale built on a complex and intriguing malt bill, giving the beer its inviting colour and rich, full body.

Can. Dark brown with a big , pillow like, light tan head. Lacing present.
Smells like an odd mix of sweet caramel, resin and coffee. Somehow goes well together.
The flavour is a meld of the aroma which reduces it's interest yet provides a well balanced taste profile. Light to medium bitter tang.
A bright carbonation with a bit of dryness.
Reflective of the style. The union was wasted on this one.
