Hepworth and Co. Brewers - Pullman First Class Ale; Iron Horse Pale Ale; Classic Old Ale

Pullman First Class Ale- This bitter pours a dark golden honey color which is cloudy, with a one inch foamy head that leaves a nice lacing.  It has a floral hop aroma.  The taste is subtle with a touch of sour fruit, a hint of caramel and scone malt, and a bracing long bitter finish.  4.2% ABV.

Iron Horse Pale Ale - Pours the same dark cloudy golden honey color of the Pullman.  The aroma is fruity, like a hint of cherries.  Has a fruity taste of dark cherries with a bitter hop finish.  4.8% ABV.

Classic Old Ale - Pours a very dark brown, with an aroma of cocoa power and almonds.  Taste is rich roasted malt, hint of coffee, nuts, and rich brownies.  It is malt forward but well balanced and not overtly sweet.  For all its flavor, it is surprisingly light and refreshing to drink.  This is one great British ale.  4.8% ABV.
