Spearhead Brewing - Amber of the North

Our twist on the traditional British-style red ale is brewed with Cashmere hops, and a mix of four malts: Honey, Melanoidin, 2-Row, and Roasted Barley. A distinct sweet malt, nutty and spice flavour gives way to warming chocolate, molasses and honey undertones with vanilla, caramel and dried fruit aroma. Our Head Brewer, Jacob Schmidt, put on his red boots and cape, flew around the city to save the day (again). As a young lad in school at Brewlab in Northern England, he spent what little free time he had travelling the countryside in search of amazing local brews. This new brew is inspired by the local traditional Amber and British Red Ales Jacob enjoyed in Gateshead on the southern bank of the River Tyne.
