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.

Bottle shared at Chris and Ruth’s pre-GBBF tasting 2015 - London. Huge thanks to Jezza for this gem! Pours clear gold with a bubbly white head. Oxidation is present in the aroma, with secondary notes of bread and caramel. Medium sweet flavor, papery, with some grain, hay and pale bread. Light bodied with average carbonation. Drying on the finish, with more paper, grain. Meh.

Bottle share at Chris & Ruth’s pre- gbbf shindig, 2015. Amber pour with a white head. Pineapple and toffee aroma with the toffee continuing into the flavour. Too sweet for me.

Bottle at ChrisO Pre-GBBF, many thanks to the Haddock of Black. It pours clear amber with a small off-white head. The nose is watery, wet wood, leaf, grass and leather. The taste is crisp, bitter, toasty grain, bread, cereal, light spice, wood and leather with a short, dry finish. Light body and fine carbonation. A bit wishy washy. Simple, but not terrible. Good country tick though!

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.
