4.6% ABV Ruby Red Ale – 500ml bottle
Brewed blending traditional Maris Otter with Crystal malt, which creates a delicious blend of malty sweetness along with caramel and honey.
German Cara Red then gives this ale its deep ruby red colour with a small amount of Black malt for those roasted flavours you associate with darker ales.
No less than FOUR different hop varieties are used in the beer, all contributing to a well-balanced bitterness with a slight spicy note and a very pleasant herbal blackcurrant.
RFA Sir Galahad was Tenby’s RNLI Tyne class Lifeboat from 1986 until 2006. She was named in tribute after the Royal Fleet Auxiliary Ship that was tragically lost in the Falklands conflict, whose surviving members helped raise her half a million pound build costs.
During her service, she saved 255 people including a 1989 rescue off Rhossili Bay, on the nearby Gower Peninsula, that saw her Coxswain Alan Thomas being awarded the RNLI’s Silver Medal for an Outstanding Service and the crew earning RNLI Medal Service Certificates.
