Description: Spearhead's head brewer, Jacob, set out to create a special amber. His amber is as bold as the iconic symbol that inspired it. The Angel of the North statue, located close to where Jacob studied his craft in Gateshead, England, is a symbol of perseverance and unconventional thinking. Our twist on the traditional British 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.
Ingredients – Water, Malted barley, Hops, Yeast
