A West Country classic to suit the Bristol palate. Based on a Sixties recipe using all-British malt and hops.

It is temptingly copper in colour with a malty aroma and is notably well balanced with malt and biscuity tones, polished off by a satisfyingly bitter finish.

This was the brewery head Glen’s first new recipe; it harks back to his childhood. (Some say he’s never left it!)

Pig’s Ear. Clear amber beer, tiny white head. Light dry palate. Slightly smoky malt is a backdrop for ok tangy hops. Dry finish. Meh!

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 22/06/10. Copper coloured with a decent, off-white head. Malty aroma with some fruit and a touch of caramel. Flavour of cereal malts, with a hint of apricot and decent bitter finish. Ok.
