Strong mineral grain waft and sharp barley-hopped astringency stand out. Peculiar marshy sweetness invades foamy caramel creaminess at crystalline malt finish. Brewery defunct: 1999.

SHEPHERD NEAME SPITFIRE PREMIUM ALE EXPORT
Britain’s oldest brewery (since 1698) bottles this regal English premium. Strong, sharp, and full of character, Spitfire’s sweet whiskey entry, creamy butterscotch center, and chewy caramel malting deliver quite a kick. Bitter-hopped citric-spiced red ale-like finish recieves refreshing water crisping.
