A strong, citrus, zingy ale. Deceptively light in colour with zesty taste and a lingering hop finish. A well known and respected strong ale.
The Bishop’s Tipple is brewed from 94% low colour malt from Optic barley and 6% cane sugar. Bitterness units of 38-42 are obtained from substantial quantities of Saaz and Styrian Goldings hops. One third of these are reserved for the hopback plates for enhanced flavour and aroma.

A bottle at The George, Froome. ABV is 5.5. Pours a dark amber colour with a off white head. Aromas of citrus. Tastes of toasted malt, with spicy citrus. Quite a heavy ale for 5.5 ABV. Might need a second pass at this

6th DRG. Grape juice aroma, somewhat dusty. Flowery flavor with grapes, some hops and just a bit of cherry wood. I like the aroma more than the flavor.

Half pint, cask at Mermaid. Next to clear warm golden body, bubbles at the surface, fragile lacing. Moderate oily hops on the nose. Doughy flavours, hints of apricot. Bittersweet ending. Satisfying. (Shared with Finn, St Albans 27.09.2018).

Clear golden beer, thin head. Basically bugger all aroma but for touch or citrus. Sweet citrus, malt and a bit of hop in the taste. Fantastically bland but alright.
