Quite dark in colour. This is a no nonsense strong English ale. Has been described by two publicans as 'having complex flavours' and 'possessing a whisky nose'.

In common with all Abbey Bells beers, a single variety of hops, in this instance Goldings contrives with the pale and crystal malts to produce the aforementioned complexity of flavour.

ABOUT THE NAME - Hardly original I hear you shout! This is one of those names which can be found in the portfolio of many breweries. In our case it is an acknowledgement of the brewer's high regard for the Flower's beer of the same name.
