Reimagined for 2019. A light easy drinking golden ale infused with Lady Grey Tea.
The story of King Edward I (nicknamed Longshanks due to him being over 6 foot tall) and his disastrous trip to Gloucester which saw him fall into a huge muddy puddle and inspired the famous poem ‘Doctor Foster (went to Gloucester)’ – a warning to children in bygone days, prior to modern roads, that what appears to be a shallow puddle could in fact be much deeper – and result in total humiliation! Some would say the adage is still relevant today ….. so watch out for those metaphorical puddles!

11/6/2019. Keg at the Brewhouse & Kitchen, Gloucester. Pours slightly hazy mid gold with a small creamy white head. Aroma of citrus, grass, peach and light fragrant tea. Moderate sweetness and light bitterness. Light body, watery texture, soft carbonation. Light, refreshing, not bad.
