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.

26th Oct 2017. CAMRA Beer Festival in Shifnal, Shropshire. Gravity poured half pint. Misty golden pour, white crown. Too many citrus leanings for my palate, not my thing at all. Scored objectively.

500ml bottle conditioned: BB Apl 17. Poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 30th Oct 16. Obtained from some poncy ’Garden Centre’ craft outlet place in Staffordshire. Mahogany brown body, large and lasting beige head. Hedgerow fruits over a bitter, herbal base, coriander maybe? Certainly something added that’s not mentioned on the label. Liked it, quirky and different. Treacle toffee like sweetness mid-sip in with the herbal and fruity flavours. The finish is dry leaving a long hop bitter aftertaste, with that herbal twist noticeable right until the end.
