Hobsons Twisted Spire is a beer with all round appeal. It's a quenching low gravity beer with a nice bitterness in flavour and refreshing bursts of hop flavour which lingers through to a crisp dry finish.

Twisted Spire is brewed with Hersbruker, Fuggles and First Gold hop varieties and Maris Otter malting barley. The vibrant blond beer appeals to the palates of both the practised ale drinker and potential lager convert.

The beer's name was inspired by the curious and rare twisted spire church of St Mary the Virgin in the heart of Cleobury Mortimer, home to Hobsons.

Bottle notes - Twisted Spire is a carbonated beer, best served at 8°C .

Cask at Three Fishes, Shrewsbury (at 3.6%). Pours lemon yellow with a medium sized foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s malts and biscuits in the aroma. In the mouth it is quite sweet with just a little underlying sharpness. Flavour is malts and caramel with some hints of citrus and herbs and spices coming through later. This is reasonable.

Clear bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Clear light gold with brief white slightly fizzy top. No skunking on aroma. Has a typical English floral hop and light citrus note, only a touch fusty. Taste of orange and lemon rind, light breads, pepper. Decent building bitterness in the finish. Light and refreshing.

Bottle online from The Hobsons Brewery. Pours a clear golden colour with a thinnish throthy white head. Aromas of citrus, caramel, floral and honey. Taste is more of the same with a pithy lemon hop bitterness on the finish. Thin to medium body, average carbonation and slightly oily mouthfeel. Nice and fresh for low abv.
