SPEIGHT’S GOLD MEDAL ALE Beer Style Draught Amber Ale First Brewed 1876 Alcohol Level 4.0 Colour 21 Bitterness 14 Energy (kilojoules/100ml) 135 Calories (/100ml) 32 Flavour characteristics: Speight’s is an ale with a hint of “grassy” undertones that add to its complexity. It has the full flavour of Speight’s malt and hops. SPEIGHT’S TRIPLE HOP PILSNER Beer Style Pilsner First Brewed 2002 Alcohol Level 4.0 Colour 12 Bitterness 31 Energy (kj/100ml) 190 Calories (/100ml) 45 Flavour characteristics: The first thing that strikes you about the Triple Hop Pilsner is the light golden colour true to the pilsner style of beer. Being a pilsner it’s a hop dominated brew, in this case we use the hop varieties; Cascades, Green Bullet and Nelson Sauvin. These give the initial hit of citrus fruit and fresh green hop character. It’s the hop sharpness that gives a refreshingly crisp taste on the palate at first. Then the classic pilsner malt flavour kicks in to provide a light malty biscuit background, the slight bitterness of the hops. SPEIGHT’S OLD DARK Beer Style English Porter First Brewed 1991 Alcohol Level 4.0 Colour 90 Bitterness 23.5 Energy (kilojoules/100ml) 150 Calories (/100ml) 36 Flavour characteristics: This dark ale has roasted malt character with a hint of chocolate. The flavour has been balanced with extra hops and rounded out with just enough sweetness. SPEIGHT’S DISTINCTION ALE Beer Style Traditional Dark Ale First Brewed 1994 Alcohol Level 4.0 Colour 40 Bitterness 17 Energy (kj/100ml) 172 Calories (/100ml) 41 Flavour characteristics: This is a dark lager style beer. It sets itself apart from typical lagers through the subtle sweetness of slightly caramelised malts with relatively little hop bitterness or flavour from the Green Bullet and Pacific Jade hops. The darker speciality malts provide a more complex malty caramel flavour that gives this brew a well rounded character. P R H I T D U E O O F T H E S SPEIGHT'S SUMMIT LAGER Beer Style Lager First Brewed June 2008 Alcohol Level 4.0 Energy (kilojoules/100ml) 135 Calories (/100ml) 31 Flavour characteristics: Brewed with only natural ingredients, Speight's Summit Lager is a smooth flavoured lager free of artificial additives and preservatives. With the addition of the Pacific Hallertau hop variety added late in the brew. Speight's Summit Lager delivers a smooth, crisp and refreshing taste with less of the maltiness associated with Speight's Gold Medal Ale.
