Atlantic IPAPercentage: 4.2% ABV | Units: 2.4 per Pint "With our spring beer, we have taken the essence of the original IPA and modernised it to create a refreshing drink with a superb dry finish and a pale straw colour.

One of hese varieties is grown by the Eden Project in Cornwall, the result of ongoing work between Sharp's and Eden to re-establish hop growing in the county. The hops give the beer a complex nature which is carefully balanced by a fresh, citrus aroma and light candyfloss notes." |

This is a product packed with flavour." |
Abbey ChristmasPercentage: 4.6% ABV | Units: 2.6 per Pint "Abbey Christmas is our interpretation of beer Cornish monks would have brewed in the middle ages to celebrate the festive season.
