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 thanks to Simon at the 2016 Cotteridge Convention. It pours murky amber with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, juicy, peach, tangerine, mango, brioche and bubblegum. The taste is a bit more bland…. crisp, bitter, minerals, straw, grainy, cracker, light spice and touch of orange peel. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Ok, but could be done with more punch.

Bottle picked up at Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham Saturday 5th March 2016 consumed at home Sunday 6th March 2016 Pours gold edging towards orange with a white head, it’s a little hazi fantazi. A touch of spice on the nose with sweet citrus notes also, these then present themselves in the flavour department, with orange and a little jiffy lemon. Soft in the mouth, fruity throughout, good beer. A7 A4 T7 P3 Ov14 3.5

Bottle shared at the Cotteridge Convention - 2016 edition. Pours cloudy gold with a big, creamy white head. Muted aroma, just light tangerine, rind, pale bread. Light sweet flavour with forward minerality, background bitter rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Strong flinty minerals in the finish, which pretty much neuters any other characteristics. So so.

Bottle picked up at Cotteridge Wines, Cotteridge, Birmingham Saturday 5th March 2016 consumed at home Sunday 6th March 2016 Pours a very, very dark brown the head was light beige but it’s gone now. Soft easy going carbonation, creamy smooth mouthfeel, vanilla shows and caramel also but there is a little oomph. I like it, it doesn’t taste 6% A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4
