British Lancaster Brewery has introduced its new chestnut ale - Mr Trotters Great British Chestnut Ale - in casks to pubs across the country.
The company has introduced Mr Trotters Great British Chestnut Ale in a bottle in Selfridges and Booths during August 2013.
With 4% ABV, the new ale is a blend of roasted sweet chestnuts and malted Maris Otter barley. The chestnuts offer a nutty creaminess to the brew, and their honied taste balances the spiciness of the English Cascade and Bramling hops.
This new copper brown ale is rich and smooth, offering sweet chestnuts and warm bread on nose, and has a bitter sweet taste.
Lancaster Brewery general manager Elvin Willgrass said: "We love experimenting with fine, natural and honest flavours, and have expertly developed some of the most innovative ales currently on the UK market. We are very excited to have developed the UK's first chestnut ale."
Currently available in Booths Supermarkets in the North West, the brewery will introduce this new ale to garden centers, farm shops and delis at an RRP of £2.45 per 50cl bottle; and by the case from www.mrtrotter.co.uk at £26.10 per case of 8, delivered mainland UK.
