Special Ale

A malty, chestnut golden ale. The full malt taste balances well with hop bitterness, fruit flavours and a biscuity edge. Special was where we first began with gyle number one brewed back in 2005. To celebrate our 3000th brew in 2025 we boosted the ABV from 4.2 to 4.7% with carapils for an even deeper malt backbone and body. Finished by the fresh new addition of Brewers Gold hops, bringing an even more complex hop profile of blackcurrant, stone fruits, and spicy aromas to our oldest, most seasoned favourite.
