Coniston Bluebird 500ml

Bottle conditioned. Formerly contract brewed by Brakspear. Currently contract brewed at Hepworth for Beer Counter, under the supervision of Peter Scholey, former Brakspear head brewer. The ingredients and abv are different to the CAMRA Supreme Champion cask ale which continues to be brewed by Coniston. Ingredients: Maris Otter and crystal malt; Challenger hops - mainly at the end of the boil. BLUEBIRD is a fine session ale with a light golden colour. The intense resinous and spicy hop character which is the beer�s hallmark is derived from the use of unusual quantities of English Challenger hops, each bale being individually and personally selected by the brewer. The malt is, of course, Maris Otter fermented slightly warm to give a soft fruitiness with a faint hint of scented geranium.
