Description
We first started our journey in Bermondsey in 2013 located in the arches of the Bermondsey beer mile. In March 2020 we expanded and moved the majority of our production to our new site in Croydon, allowing us to make three times the amount of beer.

1/3 pint @ Anspach taproom, London. A ne pas confondre avec la version non-harvest qui n'est pas la même.
Dorée, col léger blanc.
Arôme est plaisant au niveau du houblonnage bien frais - ce qui semble être une première pour Anspach de produire ce style de 'fresh harvest' du moins d'une récolte de houblons Ernest venant du Kent (une première pour moi) - petite note adoucie qui perce en rétro-nasal fruité à noyaux et finement herbacé.
Palais est crisp, bien houblonné avec une petite touche rappelant le citron vert, pamplemousse, herbacé sec; effervescence assez haute, honeydew melon voire petite pointe mielleuse adoucie allant même vers l'abricot en support.

1/3 pint @ Anspach taproom, London.
Cuivrée-ambrée, col blanc-cassé léger.
Arôme est délicieux, et reprend les grandes lignes des fumées de Bamberg. Fumé mais sans tomber dans le surfait tout en ayant qcq références maltées en support - toasté, léger caramel tout en ayant une sensation houblonnée assez fraîche en balance - notamment sur le floral.
Palais est sur une très belle note fumée - pas mal de rappel de bacon et fumoir avec une solide base maltée restant tout de même délicate - petite note presque crystal, grillé, caramel avec une balance en amertume qui accompagne le tout.

Can at Havnens Vin Og Tobakhus Juleølsmagning 2025. Pours opaque black with small white head. Aroma is intense dried ginger, malt, black pepper, pine needles, and honey. Taste is medium to very sweet, medium bitter, and light salty. Body is oily with medium carbonation. Finish is long and medium sweet and medium bitter with intense notes of dried ginger, black pepper, mild chili, malt, and spice. Too much dried ginger for my taste.

A fine smoked lager! Mild smoke but I overheard one Londoner say that it tastes like the brewer "barbecued the beer" 😆 One of their Oktoberfest offerings.
