Description
Fallen Angel Brewery was established in East Sussex in 2004 and soon became popular with its unique chilli ales and ciders. Combining the well documented benefits of beer with the nutritional benefits of chilli’s, including boosting circulation, improving heart health and lowering cholesterol not to mention the endorphin rush. Fallen Angel became widely known across the chilli fraternity and beer enthusiasts. It’s tagline being “modern ales- brewed traditionally”, the brewery continued to experiment and expand its range.

In 2012 the brewery closed, and moved to the East of England following a takeover by Broxbourne Brewery which also became the home of Fallen Angel beers. Commenced brewing as Broxbourne Brewery in March 2013, including some Fallen Angel beers. In 2015 the Brewery moved to Essex and the name reverted to Fallen Angel.

Beers made exclusively by Fallen Angel brewery, which were rated and believed discontinued prior to the 2012 takeover by Broxbourne are listed separately under their former East Sussex location.

A BBE Dec 07 bottle that has been stored cool and dark. Cloudy brown beer, lively pale tan head that quickly dies away. Crisp dry beer with a Belgian like sour tang, Quite drinkable but hardly an ESB!

Very crisp and tart wheat beer with a distinct lemon edge. Just a very subtle hint of orange. Refreshing. Good summer beer.

Dark beer. Biting chili start leads to massive hotness and burn on the tongue and the back of the throat. Spicy beyond belief! An experience!

Warning! Early amateur rating! Orange coloured beer. Very fiery chilli, can’t taste much else. Does what it says on the tin but it’s very one dimensional.
