Description
At present there are five of us working at the brewery – Luke and Stuart who assist with deliveries and the cleaning and filling of casks. In the office, there’s Julia AKA Fuzzy, who doubles as Droxford’s famous lollipop lady. She keeps all the paperwork in good order which is a good thing because this was a weakness of ours. The Bowman family is of course completed by Ray and myself.
Our beers have evolved over the years into three really popular regular brews and each month we have a 4.5% special on too.

Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours gold (between yellow and amber), with a small off-white head. Aroma is primarily oranges with traces of floral hops and bread rolls. It the mouth it is sweet and juicy, but with some underlying bitterness. Flavour has floral hops, tangerine, lemongrass plus hints of toast and berry fruits. Finish is quite fruity. Very quaffable – and quite a lot of flavour for it’s strength.

[275ml bottle from Low Cost Beers.] A straw coloured pour with a billowing white head and light carbonation; bready aroma; some sour grains and yeast in the mouth then a sweet biscuity body; followed by a grassy bitterness. Rather bland and boring.

Bottle from the gift shop at The Vyne nr Basingstoke. Aroma is fruity and malty. Slightly gluey. Clear gold. Medium-heavy bitter. Resin. Quinine. Citrus. Far more woody than the fruitiness suggested by the aroma. Although there is some underlying fruit in the mix. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average carbonation. Long astringent finish. Punchy if not overly exciting.

Bottle from Cooperative Supermarket, Ashurst. Golden with a frothy-bubbly head. Decent ale, but its actual wheat character is low.

Bottle from Cooperative Supermarket, Ashurst. Golden in colour and pours with a thick frothy head. It has a hint of fruit but this brew is mostly bitter, therefore a fruited bitterness is found.
