Description
The Blythe Brewery is a small brewery, based in the rural setting of Hill Ridware in Staffordshire, yet only 11 miles from the brewing mecca of Burton upon Trent. The business was started in 2002 by Rob Greenway following his early retirement from 3M. Rob had been producing his own homebrew ales and beers for many years and the early retirement gave him the opportunity to use his knowledge both as a chemist and as a homebrewer to take on the challenge of producing high-quality naturally produced ales and beers on a small commercial scale. All the ales and beers produced at Blythe are traditional cask or bottle-conditioned.

Can from the brewery online shop. Appearance - deep brown and cloudy. Beige head. Nose - spiced cake and dried fruit. Treacle in there too. Taste - a nice mingled together flavours of treacle, raisins and cake. Palate - creamy in texture. Medium bodied, light roasty finish. Overall - good stuff. Possibly should squeeze into ESB category - maybe just strong enough but definitely has the complexity.

Can from the brewery online shop. Appearance - deep brown to black with a tan head. Nose - toffee, raisins and general cakiness. Taste - prunes, raisins, toffee and again generally cakey. Palate - medium bodied, rich and lightly sticky. Still a light roastiness on the finish that cleans the palate in a relative way. Overall - lovely ale.
