Brewed in an old nuclear bunker at Pednavounder on the Lizard Peninsula, Britain’s most southerly point, Lizard Ales have been producing a variety of real ales since 2004 – using only high quality ingredients and traditional methods, the beers from Lizard Ales capture the true flavour of Cornwall.
Lizard Ales is a “five barrel ” plant producing up to 180 gallons per brew – simple ingrdients – water, malt, hops, yeast and salt – The water is local and untreated save for the addition of a little table salt to give extra body – malted barley comes from Warminster Maltings of Wiltshire who malt Lizard Ale’s mainly Cornish barley – the hops are all grown in Kent or Worcestershire the yeasts are built up from fresh batches sourced from St Austell Brewery.

Panda at home, thanks to Danlo, 12/06/22. Deep amber to chestnut brown with a light beige covering that dissipates to a swirl and edgeing. Nose is dried fruits, toffee, dates, sugars, brown bread, hint of berry fruits. Taste comprises fruit cake, brown sugar scattering, brown bread, light spice, hedgerow, toffee, dates. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, light drying close with a modest bitter edge. Respectable enough strong ... not sure why only scoring 2.87?

Bottle from Purely Cornish, Looe. Golden-brown with a small head. Lots of sediment at the end, this beer was sat in my cellar for 5 or 6 years before opening and was fine. Midly fruity but very flavoursome old ale all the same, good aroma too. Lowish bitterness.
