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 .

Sampled @ GBBF day 3. Clear yellow color, small white to off-white head. Smell and taste malts, lightly bitter, quite buttery. Not a lot more to it. Pretty bad actually.

500 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a small white head. Light aroma of hay, herbs and lemon. Flavor is weak grain with a hint of herbs and almost no bitterness. Thin body and no aftertaste. A big disappointments.

Bottle. It pours a clear, golden body and a small white head. The aroma is grassy and citrusy, pretty British. Some lemon. There’s a nice bitterness in the flavor, along with the grass and citrus recognized in the aroma. Medium body, pretty dry on the palate. Short, bitter finish. Nothing impressive going on here, but it’s at least quenching. 140110

500ml bottle not sure where from. Pleasant middle-of-the-road session ale, medium body with pale malts and light fruit hops. Much better than the last one I had from these guys.

500 ml clear bottle, from Vaaland, Bryne. ABV is 3.6%. Very pale golden colour, moderate white head. Typical clear bottle "skunky" and Heineken-like aroma. Sharpish hoppy bitterness throughout, but little hop flavour besides the bitterness. No body to support the bitterness. Not a very nice beer, the poorest I’ve had from Hobsons so far. Won’t buy again.

Bottle from the brewery. Clear straw pour with a frothy broken white head. Yeasty malty aroma. Clean fresh malty flavour with some sourness on the palate. Nice to taste, but I won't be buying a crate.
