Description
In 1794, Dorset rope and net makers, the Gundry family, built the Old Brewery on the banks of the River Brit in Bridport. Since then, there’s been non-stop brewing on this site. In the late 19th century, two Palmers brothers – John Cleeves and Robert Henry – bought the brewery and gave it their names: JC & RH Palmer. Today, their great grandsons, John and Cleeves Palmer, work in the company. As Palmers Brewery, it remains among the best of small independent brewers.

Historic rating, had this whilst staying in Charmouth, Dorset both bottled and cask at the local pub. Rated on cask experience. Poured a clear amber colour with a frothy, lasting, off-white head. Aroma of moderate malt, caramel, biscuit, and lighty roasted. Medium sweetness and bitterness. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. One of the most enjoyable ales discovered during our week in the west country.

Cask-conditioned on gravity, at Weymouth Octoberfest. Amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Malty bitter, with some red berry notes, hint of cocoa, and leafy hops before a moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Handpump at the Harp in London. Orange clear/bright pour, off-white foam. Nose: grassy/green harvest, really nice. Mouth: tea hoppy feel, grass in a weak malty body. Easy and quite tasty. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
