Ripon Jewel
Deep Amber Ale, 5.8% ABV
 |
Ripon's Jewel is a small gold round piece of jewelry inlaid with gemstones which is on display at the Ripon Cathedral in North Yorkshire, England. Discovered in 1976, the Jewel is thought to originate from the 7th century when Saint Wilfrid built a basilica on the site of the present day cathedral.
The beer is deep amber in color and highly aromatic, bringing a complex mix of malts and mainly English hops, including Fuggles and Nortdown. With a hint of the barley wine, it is ideal to accompany food.
Serving Directions:
Strong aroma and complex tastes, head brewer advises against over chilling as this will mask the taste.
