Commercial Description:
Cask; Regular.
Brewed in honour of John Cairns Bartholomew, grandson of the Brewery's co-founder.
A deep amber, robust but perfectly balanced traditional English ale with a rich malty body, complex hop character and a hint of tropical fruit in the aroma and taste. A gentle 'boiled sweet/barley sugar' sweetness blends wonderfully with a smooth nutty malt and rounded hop bitterness before a dry, biscuity, moreishly bitter finish. JCB is matured for seven days in the brewery, prior to despatch.
JCB is brewed from 90% pale and unusually high (10%) rates of crystal malt. Substantial quantities of traditional English aroma Fuggles hops (50%) and Goldings hops (50%) are added both at the start and near the end of the boil to give bitterness units of 35. A 'tea' of Goldings hops infused in hot water is added as the copper casts, further enhancing the hop character. Colour rating is 38.

Handpump at The Square Peg, Birmingham. Copper colour with a small head. Malty scent. In the mouth, there are lots of summer berry fruits, with some hoppiness. Perhaps a bit too sweet.
