Brewed by 8 Sail Brewery who were established in 2010. The brewery nestles in the shadow of Heckington Windmill, Britain’s only eight sailed windmill, from which it takes it’s name.
A traditional red/brown English IPA brewed with Fuggles and Goldings hops which provide the fruity flavour.

Another gusher from 8 Sail with 95% head – needed 3 glasses to contain it! Once settled it turned out to be a murky amber with off-white scummy head.
Aroma is grainy with citrus peel, caramel and grassy notes.
Taste is grainy with some caramel, citrus zest, stone fruits, nice bitter kick. Medium bodied.
Quite nice.
