Rich and creamy. Distinctive, Ruby Red colour. Velvety in its finish. This iconic beer was developed in 1959 and launched as a celebration of the 200 years anniversary of Arthur Guinness signing his 9,000-year lease.

Tasting Notes: Aroma: Sweet smelling with a coffee and malty nose 
 Flavour: Perfect balance of bitter and sweet with malt and roast characters Palate: Smooth, creamy and balanced

Our brewers used a slower, gradual, low temperature fermentation for a softer bodied beer. We then dry hoped with American Mosaic hop to build crisp flavours, subtle bitterness and a gentle floral, tropical fruit aroma. Way back in the early 19th Century before John, founder and great by-many grandfather, had selected our picturesque site to realise his passion and build a brewery, he was a farmer by trade. Times were hard in British farming so he upped sticks and voyaged to the uninhabited planes of Canada to build a new farm and a new life. “You can tell Polly that we live like two old, long-bearded and grave old bachelors,” John writes home to his brother. Love eventually brought him home and our beautiful brewhouse soon followed. Voyager is a tribute to his adventurous spirit. We’ve used American hops as a nod to his time across the Atlantic, giving the pale ale a fruity kick.
