Commercial Description:
Bottle conditioned only.
Originally produced for the wholesaler LWC Jollys at the, now defunct, Ring O Bells brewery in Cornwall. After the closure of Ring O Bells, Jollys changed the branding of a number of the bottled beers to Carn Brea and moved production (via Keltek) to Hepworth. The recipes may differ from the originals.

Scuttled is made with a blend of Pale, Crystal and Black barley, with good English hops.

LCRBM2. Amber colour with thin beige head. Caramel and hop aroma. Hops are pretty good on end. Tingly. Not bad. Good malt/hop balance throughout with a very good hoppy finish.

Bottle, picked up by my dad from Cornwall. Like it’s stablemate ’Dreckly’ this pours a fairly standard brown colour but with a smaller off white frothy head. Some hops and malts in the aroma, bit dry, quite bitter and hoppy tasting again another beer from Ring O Bells that is absolutely fine but hardly exciting.

LCRBM2: Almost woody aroma. Light hoppy flavor with touches of cinnamon and pear. Pleasant.

Brownish coloured with a small off-white head. Strong aroma, hops, little fruity, sometimes wandering off to a soapy touch. Medium body, with a longer and dryer hoppy finish.

Hazy amber-mossy beer with a small ring for a head. Very hoppy nose, nearly USA, and a bit of kiwi fruit. Dry, dry, dry. Cardboard flavours, but with dry hops, orange zeste, hop bales. Light to medium bodied quite slick. A surprisingly good Southern English interpretation of an American pale ale.
