Bathside Battery Bitter – ABV 4.2%

Bathside Battery Bitter – ABV 4.2%
American style pale ale with oodles of cascade hops. Good bitterness levels followed by sweet hop taste and then the Cascade really kicks in for a real citrus aroma.
Lingering malt sweetness is balanced with smooth bitterness throughout. Barley sugar notes and an unmistakable Cascade nose.
Smooth blond ale with controlled hop bite and plenty of aroma and taste reminiscent of old barley sugar.

More heavily hopped robust porter in the new-world style. Influenced by US brewers, this porter combines the noble hops of Middle Europe with the best of US hops to create a smooth beer.
Another disappearing beer style, this dark beer is enjoying a small revival among beer lovers. Mid Brown to almost black, with some red hues, this beer contains pale malt and will contain a proportion of roast, black or chocolate malts. Initial sweetness is balanced by later hop bite. This is brewed in the American style with all American hops.
Rich, dark and silky smooth, this jet-black beer with a tan-coloured head is an absolute delight. Drink with rich stews and game at room temperature in winter, or be daring and lightly chill it during the warmer months.
Named after the Redoubt Fort in Harwich which overlooks the harbour channel, this is a robust stout. Jet black with a tan head, it is the perfect accompanimnet to game and cheese where the dry finish perfectly complements the strong flavours. Bitterness is provided by Pioneer and Pilgrim hops.
An easy drinking, full flavoured session beer, Copper coloured flavoured with American & English hops.
Leading lights is the archetypal English bitter. A full flavoured beer full made with pale malt and speciality grains and lightly hopped. Choice English hop varieties balance the sweetness of the malt making this a perfect session beer.

Smooth traditional mild. A very deep reddish hue. Sweet tasting and mildly hopped, perfect after a hard day's work.
A traditional mild made with pale malt, mild malt and roast barley, and lightly hopped with Fuggles and Goldings,. Sales of this style of beer, once a staple of agricultural workers, has been in decline for many years prompting CAMRA to set aside May as mild month in order to promote interest in this type of beer.
Deep red, sweet and lightly hopped, this is the original thirst quenching ale.
A real summer thirst-quencher this award-winning brew is remarkably flavoursome for its gravity. A massive tropical fruit aroma leads to a full orchestra of fruity hops with a satisfying finish that just leaves you wanting more. Awarded Beer of the Festival at Colchester Beer Festival in 2011.
At a mere 3.6% ABV this beer combines a lovely light golden body with tons of hop character to challenge your taste buds and refresh your palette. A great pint for a relaxing summer afternoon.
A crisp, pale beer this alternative summer beer has a smooth pale malt base and crisp hops leading to a long dry finish.
More restrained than the tropical Bay Bitter the crisp, citrus hops go really well with food. Try this with a mildly spicy indian meal or, ideally, a long summer barbecue.
A chance encounter with some different yeast led to this-one off brew. In order to ring the changes, it was brewed longer and with more hops than Leading Lights. It became an instant hit and so was added to our regular range, where it punches well above its weight.
A chance encounter with a different yeast led to this one-off brew. Brewed stronger, longer and with more hops than Leading lights, this became an instant hit. The use of four grains and three hop varieties give this beer a depth which belies its strength.
