A few years ago our Head Brewer Fergus posed the question 'Would you drink a 2.8% abv beer?' on our website. From over 50 comments the majority of you said yes you would be happy to drink such a beer. So Fergus created Sole Star a full-flavoured yet lower abv style. As well as benefiting from a reduced duty rate because of its low abv it's ideal as a lunchtime pint for the responsible drinker. Brewed with Pale Ale Crystal Black and Munich malts which are toasted to add more flavour. We use Chinook and Cascade hops to add bitterness to balance out the sweetness. (Contains barley). - See more at: http://cellarandkitchen.adnams.co.uk/catalog/product/bottles/adnams-sole-star-8-x-500ml-27-abv?#sthash.yLf7v5RQ.dpuf
