Rev Reserve
RICH & SMOOTH WITH A SATISFYING FULL BODY TEXTURE
Description
Honouring a brewing legend with a bold twist.
This limited-edition 5.5% ale celebrates 140 years of brewing in tribute to Rev. James Buckley, uniting the pulpit and the pint. Inspired by the original 1885 recipe and brewed with Buckley’s yeast, Rev James Reserve offers extra depth and richness for a fuller-bodied experience.
With its reddish hue, the ale balances caramel and fruit notes with subtle hints of raisin and plum, while double roasted crystal malt adds complexity and a smooth finish. A punchier, more robust take on the classic, it proudly continues a legendary brewing tradition.
Rich, Smooth and Punchy. Most defiantly Welsh!
