UNDERCLIFF EXPERIENCE

4.1% alc/vol

Yates' flagship bitter, taking its name from the address, it is primary seasoned with Goldings hops, but a charge of Fuggles is added late in the boil. This is contrary to the method of most brewers who use this classic combination: the goldings are usually added last for aroma
TASTING NOTES-
An amber ale with bittersweet malt and hop taste and a dry, lemon edge that dominates the bitter finish.

HOLY JOE
4.9% alc/vol
This is a citrus beer, with the zesty inclusion of American Cascade hops and a powdered coriander. Named after a local character that lived in the area in the 1950s, it is now brewed all the year round.
TASTING NOTES-
A Golden beer with lots of citrus immediately evident in the aroma, and subtle malt emerging later. Plenty of bitterness features in the mouth along with slightly toasted, sweet malt flavours, pronounced tangy-citrus notes and spicy coriander bitter, hoppy, spicy and a lightly toasted finish

WIGHT WINTER/
ST LAWRENCE ALE
5.0% alc/vol
Described by David Yates as stout like. Very dark bitter.

TASTING NOTES-
A very dark ruby in appearance with malty milk chocolate at first in the nose, then plenty of orange fruit. It is mostly bitter, malty and roasted to taste, with a perfumed, bitter orange note always present, bitter, roasted, perfumed finish

Yates Special Draft
(YSD)
5.5% alc/vol

This is a stong ale, light golden in colour, "a drink to be respected". The bottled version won the bronze medal at the 2004 GBBF.
TASTING NOTES-
Golden in colour, with a tart fruit nose, this strong beer has a dry hoppy bitter taste that belies its strength, citrus notes linger in the dry bitter hoppy aftertaste.

Yates Blonde

4.5% alc/vol

A light beer with a fruity citreous nose, completed with a dry hoppy final taste.
