Theakston XB is a rare delight, a real ale connoisseur’s masterpiece. Batch-brewed in Masham, XB is an award winning, premium strength, ruby coloured, full-bodied bitter with a delicate Calvados-like aroma, and a subtle rhubarb and apple fruit flavour. The balance between bitterness and fruitiness from Bramling Cross and Fuggle hops used give XB the distinctively complex aroma, making it a beer to savour. A strong full-bodied ale with a subtle but superb blend of hop varieties giving a most thirst quenching and satisfying ale.
