Description
Armada is our take on the classic British Brown Ale—a true session beer built for balance, comfort, and repeat pours. Lightly roasted and gently caramelized malts create inviting notes of toffee, hazelnut, and soft cocoa, while a restrained floral hop character keeps the finish clean and dry.
Moderate in alcohol and endlessly drinkable, Armada delivers depth without heaviness—exactly as the style was intended. Designed historically to serve the masses, this timeless ale still does just that today, one satisfying pint at a time.
“You can’t cross the sea by staring at the water.”
