Triple B exhibits a drinkability created by a unique balance of malt sweetness and a hoppy clean aftertaste.
Triple B started its life as a blend of Cooking and Ten Fifty. However as demand grew, the recipe was quickly formulated and Triple B has been our top selling ale ever since!

Tried at a bistro in Stamford. The beer was probably past its prime,. Amber colour with no head. The aroma was a touch musty. The taste was flat, but had the promise of malt and a nice bitter finish.

Rich bronze colour. Thin head. Sweet caramel nose and a bit of biscuity malt. Lots of caramel, rich malts, bit of alcohol. Straightforward bitter.

On cask at JDW in Coalville - Not the most inspiring. A copper body, vague white head. Bit of malt and caramel, but not too much to impose itself. Taste - okay - but nothing noteworthy. A boring bitter.

Malt based golden ale with a disappoint small head that doesn’t cover its top. Glows a bit thought.

Hand pulled pint in my local ’Spoons’ on 13th Aug 2012. Clear and clean amber body with a creamy head that produced some good, strong lacing on my UK pint sleeve glass. No great aromas, mix of caramel maltiness and some floral hops: the taste followed those traits with the hops coming to the fore as the mouth dried. This was one of the smoothest cask ales I’ve had for a long time: could have been a nitro-keg cream flow beer (is this a good thing or a bad thing?). I had this at the brewery years ago, but don’t remember it being a smooth/slick tasting brew.

Cask at Hamilton Hall, JDW, London. Pours clear gold with a creamy, pale head. Crispy malt nose with some leaves, wood and hay. Light sweet flavor with plastic-like bitterness, some underripe lemon, straw, green grass. Light bodied with average carbonation. Crisp, lightly biting finish with mild dough, toast, grass, woody leaves, plastic and straw. There’s a surprisingly abrasive hop presence in the aftertaste, mostly green grass. Somewhat out of balance, and the elements themselves aren’t awesome.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Golden amber with a thin white head; fruity aroma; soft in the mouth with a peachy flavour and a grainy body; gentle, but lasting, crisp bitterness to finish with a touch of citrus. I rather liked this.

Cask. Deep amber colour with a small white head. Aroma is caramel malts, some mild crystal malts as well as some mild nutty and wooden notes. Flavour is rather much the same. Plain and simple bitter, but a very drinkable one.
