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 & hops. SPEIGHT’S TRIPLE HOP PILSNER Beer Style First Brewed Alcohol Level Colour Bitterness Energy (kj/100ml) Calories (/100ml)

Pilsner 2002 4.0 12 31 190 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 & Nelson Sauvin. These give the initial hit of citrus fruit & 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 & rounded out with just enough sweetness. SPEIGHT’S DISTINCTION ALE Beer Style First Brewed Alcohol Level Colour Bitterness Energy (kj/100ml) Calories (/100ml)

Traditional Dark Ale 1994 4.0 40 17 172 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 & Pacific Jade hops. The darker speciality malts provide a more complex malty caramel flavour that gives this brew a well rounded character.

SPEIGHT'S CIDER Beer Style First Brewed Alcohol Level Colour Energy (kilojoules/100ml) Calories (/100ml) 40.85

Cider May 2011 4.6 7.9 EBC 171.58

Flavour characteristics: Speight’s brings you a well balanced, refreshing cider. The full bodied profile comes from the batch fermentation of juice sourced from 100% New Zealand grown apples, & is expertly coupled to a dry finish, which leaves you wanting more of this amber cider. SPEIGHT'S SUMMIT LAGER Beer Style First Brewed Alcohol Level Energy (kilojoules/100ml) Calories (/100ml)

Lager June 2008 4.0 135 31

Flavour characteristics: Brewed with only natural ingredients, Speight's Summit Lager is a smooth flavoured lager free of artificial additives & preservatives. With the addition of the Pacific Hallertau hop variety added late in the brew. Speight's Summit Lager delivers a smooth, crisp & refreshing taste with less of the maltiness associated with Speight's Gold Medal Ale. SPEIGHT’S PORTER Beer Style First Brewed Alcohol Level Colour Bitterness Energy (kj/100ml) Calories (/100ml)

Porter 2002 5.0 155 27 181 43

Flavour characteristics: Speight’s Porter is a red-black beer with a rich, robust palate & complex full aromas. A blend of crystal, caramalt, roasted wheat & chocolate malt combine to give a complex, smoky, mocha aroma & a rich coffee flavour which finishes on a subtle chocolate note.

Flavour characteristics: Speight’s MID Ale is brewed using the specialty malts Crystal, Caramalt & Chocolate malt, enough to give the beer a smooth caramelised malty flavour & aroma.
