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 .

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.

Clear gold with a creamy white head and a floral aroma. The mouthfeel is smooth, approaching creamy, with light biscuit malt, floral notes and a mellow citrus bitterness nicely balanced

Cask @ Prince Of Wales, Shrewsbury. Clear golden with a creamy head. It's a hoppy session ale and very easy supping, with a mild floralness.

Bottled. Deep golden, misty. Decent white head. Aroma: floral / grassy hop, biscuit, butter cookies. Light body. The initial taste is on the sweeter side of things. The middle is much drier followed by spicy & floral light hop bitterness. Well drinkable.
