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.

500ml bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring. Unusual artwork on the bottle! Hazy straw colour with a thick billowing white head; yeasty aroma with tart fruit; more tartness in the mouth, it’s really quite sour, but also sweet and lactic, a bit like a boiled sweet. Not at all pleasant.

500ml Bottle - Dark golden/amber in colour with a lively and foamy head. Dry and slightly tart aroma with some fruity hints, a slightly soapy element and a faint strawberry hint. Fruity and slightly taste with some more hints of strawberry and a sweet and sour finish which is also lightly hoppy. A hint of strawberries and cream lingers in the finish too.

Bottle, Carringtons, Chorlton. Poured a cloudy deep yellowy gold colour with a large white head. Aroma very lemony; I threw a slice of lemon in to the glass, but am not sure it was even necessary such was the potency of the lemon, which smothers all aspect of this beer. ’Hooch’ even started to permeate my thinking on this one! Nonetheless, i did quite enjoy this and have had far worse german weissbiers in the past.

Bottle at home ... having seen all the reviews i really wasnt sure about it but i bought it to cook a chilli with ... A realy nice deep brown that shines lovely ruby when held up to the light ...a slightly unplesent sour nose ... BUT what a suprise ... flavour was deep roast malts a little fruity and a little sweet then slowly the Chilli bit siddles up to you. At first just a gentle carress but as you feel the chillis silky smooth caress it sucker punches you. with a nice sweet peppery punch ...that doesnt half make you sweat... Its got a solid rounded flavour ... so much that i drunk much more than i intended though i had to take breaks to let my body temperature return to normal. bottle at home ... deep brown .. thin tan head ... soft dark roast light chilli nose .. soft toffe fruits ... soft malts ... massive chilli .. big burn .. dark roast ... huge burn on linger ... its chilli ... massive chilli ... light roast malts ... the beer could be better but the chilli is really a peppery burn... this will cook great... im gonn a srick... intersting spicy but not a great beer
