Five Generations is another fantastic ale from our award winning collection. The initial concept was originally to commemorate five generations of the King family brewing in Horsham. Five generations is a delicate blend of the finest pale malt combined with a liberal charge of cascade hops to result in a robust, full hoppy flavour. It is mid strength and Amber in colour.

Bottle at Chriso’s Pre-GBBF Shindig, 2012, London. Pours clear, rich gold with a fine, white cream head. Some light, tangy berries in the nose, some caramel. Medium sweet flavor with a highly unpleasant tang, some faint leather and leaves. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Poor finish, some dank golden raisins, weird smoke. No good.

Bottled@chriso pre-gbbf shindig 2012. Amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma is caramel, fruity, mild nutty notes along with some slight oxidation. Flavour is caramel malts, sweet fruits and some mild oxidated notes. Still quite nice though.

50cl bottle from the Home Brew Shop, Aldershot. Poured a slightly hazy mid[brown with a billowing cream head; fruity aroma; prickly in the mouth with caramel malts and lots of wood smoke; and a sweet, nutty, finish. Rather plain compared to other King offerings.

Bottle, 4.4%. OK malty aroma. Hint of fine aroma hops, but not entirely pleasant. Cloudy brown colour, small bits of yeast at the bottom. Very small tan head. The flavour starts off roasted, turning OK malty with a bit of aroma hop at the end. Unfortunately a bit too much yeast in the finish.

Amber with plenty of floaties and a medium off white head. Aroma had toasted malt, caramel and hints of hops. Flavor had toasted malt, caramel, smoke and a fair amount of hops. Forget about Papsoe’s rating, obviously he doesn’t know.
