Description
Twisted Barrel Ale exploded onto the Coventry beer scene on 29th March 2014.

After months of hard work developing a small selection of beers that would appeal to Coventry's patrons thirsting for our unique mix of modern and classical styles and methods we launched our beers at Coventry's number 1 bottle bar, Inspire, and it was a huge success. Originally brewing on a 60 litre kit, we described ourselves as 'the UK's first Pico-brewery'.

20th June 2015 and we held another launch. This time in our brand new Brewery and Tap House at FarGo Village. With a new 1000 litre brewing kit and an entirely new brand design from Stewart Easton, we've finally become the brewery we always set out to be. Almost 2 years later we transferred our bar and brewing kit into a space about 5 times larger than before, we're still serving the best beer at FarGo Village.

Keg at Cherry Reds, Birmingham. Poured a hazy medium amber with a frothy white head. The aroma is light malt, yeast, dry grassy orange citrus hop. The flavour is light bitter sweet with a crisp, fresh yeasty, light fruit, dry hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

440ml can (not sure where people are getting version numbers and hop names from, there's none of that on here). Murky dull orange brown colour with a big off-white head. Soft juicy tropical fruity sherbety aroma. Taste is the same, sherbety, citrus and tropical fruits, dank, moderate bitterness which is more than I expected for a NEIPA. Medium body, soft-moderate carb.
