Account Fairtrade Beer - William Wilberforce Freedom Ale
Product Ref: 5500/9590167
Produced to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act on 25th March 1807. Traditionally floor-malted Maris Otter pale-ale malt, crystal malt and Kentish hops combine with Fairtrade demerara sugar to produce a deep, golden ale. It is characterised by its mellow bitterness and long, hoppy finish. A contribution from the sale of each bottle is made to Stop the Traffik. Stop The Traffik is a global coalition of organizations, communities and individuals raising awareness of people trafficking and promoting practical action through a global declaration, media, events, celebrities and projects around the world through 2006 and 2007. www.stopthetraffik.org.uk
The pale bronze beer is complex, from aroma through to finish. The use of demerara sugar adds a fruitness reminiscent of pear drops and sherbet lemons to the nose, dominated by biscuity malt and hop resins. Tart fruit, juicy malt and bitter hops fill the mouth, while the long finish is dry and intensely bitter, with rich malt, lemon fruit and spicy hops. Malt: medium. Fruit: high. Bitterness: high.
