Reduced from 5.5% to 5% abv before May 2013.
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.

Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen. A hazy golden beer with a yellowish head. The aroma has notes of fruits, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, fruits, buttercitch, and honey, leading to a bitter finish.

Nice hoppy aroma and taste, with lingering bitterness on the palate. Amber in color, with small creamy head. Reminiscent of what you would get on draft in a pub. Delicious, and drinkable.

Bottled 500ml. -from Presporska Pivoteka ie Cafe Luxor, Bratislava. Orange/golden coloured, small to medium sized off-white head, some mild citrusy (orange) notes in the nose. Sweet malty, fruity and slight honey taste with weak hops presence. Ordinary and boring, Ridgeway Bitter was a way better.

Ogi’s bottle that his friends got in Bratislava. Poured a clear lovely amber - gold body. Cardboardy malty nose, slightly creamy. Creamy malty soft taste ruined by a crappy dull bitter hop presence. Some very light honey, but not much. Too damn ordinary.

Dobre i gożkie piwo. Intensywnie pachnące różnymi chmielami. W smaku głównie chmielowa nuta, a to aromatyczne, a to gożkie odmiany. Polecam miłośniką gożkiego finiszu.

On cask Ruishton Inn (9/6/12) - Deep amber body with a medium white head. Nose of caramel and fruit with a bit of hop. The flavour was sweet, with more fruit, brown sugar and a warming alcohol finish.
