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.

Bottle from Bridgend Service Station. Hazy bronze body with a medium off-white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of toffee, copper and banana. Flavour of wood, bread, spices, fig and rusty metal. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Soft fizz. A pretty good effort but I felt it would have benefited from greater malt sweetness.

Keg at Ubrew. It pours hazy deep orange with a small off-white head. The aroma is bitter - sweet, orange marmalade, kumquat, tinned peach, tangerine and candied peel. The taste is crisp, dry, bitter, pithy citrus, piney, orange peel, marmalade, kumquat, soapy with a dry, zesty finish. Medium body and moderate, prickly carbonation. Not bad. The taste doesn’t quite live up to the aroma.
