Born Brewing Early Dawn

$17.54

From the Brewery'

"A light and refreshing pale ale infused with bergamot orange, early grey tea leaves and aromas of stone fruits.

One of our favourite aspects of this beer is the flavour profile the Earl Grey tea leaves give, which create a unique light sweetness that makes this beer stand out from the first sip, to the last.

This beer was formally known as Earl’s Ale: new look, new name, same great beer."
