Alexanders (Smyrnium olusatrum) – is native to the Mediterranean but can obviously thrive much further north. It was brought to the UK by the illustrious Romans who called it the “pot herb of Alexandria”. Every part of the plant is edible and it tastes similar to angelica and parsley (another common name for it, is Horse Parsley).
Our Alexanders were foraged from the cliffs at Cromer, the fresh seasons growth of the plant that can grow as high as 1.8m were used as an additional to the wort at “flame out” stage.
The plant gives a clean slightly peppery taste to the beautiful light saison ale.

Bottle, from the brewery. Soft haze on a gingery gold. Fine white head has a ring of loose bubbles. Nose has a nice, jellied fruit note to it. Hint of spicy malt and yeast. Touch of sweet citrus. Taste has fruity, estery sweetness. Lightly dry. Smooth, medium bodied mouthfeel. Soft carbonation. Estery, fruity finish.

Bottle from Norfolk Food and Drink in Cromer. Hazy amber colour with a white head. Aroma is herby yeast and spice. Taste dry and then spicy. Crisp body.
