A year after the launch of Bushy’s Gibraltar Barbary Beer in the colony, signs show that the brew - a partnership between the Manx brewers and the Gibraltarian Importers, Lewis Stagnetto, is proving highly popular with locals and visitors alike. Bushy’s boss Martin has recently fostered links, after an epic drive through France and Spain with wife, Debbie, with the Botanical gardens on the colony and they are growing hops for the next brew. It is believed that this coming brew will be the first ever beer to contain hops grown on Gibraltar.

500ml bottle @ Shrewsbury Bottle Share, June 15, courtesy of Señor Haddock. Pours deep amber with an off-white head. Brewed with hops grown on the Rock of Gibraltar, although the hop presence seems modest at best. More of a woody malt character with a light bitter edge. Not the best beer of the evening.

500ml bottle: BBD 28 Oct 15. Brought back from Gibraltar by my father for me, I in turn shared it with three friends at the June Shrewsbury Bottle Share meeting. Amber body with a copper hue, an off-white head sat proudly on top. Slight malt lead to a pretty boring blend to be honest. Wanted and expected more flavour and character from the label build up. The Gibraltar hops must have been grown in a window box or something similar as their influence is negligible to say the least. Disappointing.

500 ml bottle sampled in 2010. Clear golden body with a fast disappearing off/white head. Plain aroma of malt and caramel. Flavor is moderate malty with a hint of caramel, light fruit and low bitterness. Medium body and short aftertaste. Decent drinkable beer, but nothing special whatsoever.

Bottle. It’s a clear, golden beer topped by a small, off-white head. Caramel-malty nose with some fruity hops, like one would expect from a dark English bitter. Fruity and malty flavor with a lightly spiced bitterness. Some bitterness in the else malty finish. Medium body. A quite drinkable beer, but sure one of the boring ones. 100917

[Bottled] Nut brown, small head. Fruity and lightly roasty. Fairly sweet with clean mouthfeel. Notes of tobacco. Lightly salty finish. Somewhat unrefined and rather soulless. Quite like Bass I’m afraid.

The aroma is sweet malty with notes of hops. The color is amber and it has a white disappearing head. The flavor is of roasted malt and the carbonization prickles the tongue.
