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.

(Cask at Harp, Covent Garden, London, 28 Nov 2014) Golden amber colour with foamy, off-white head. Fruity, malty nose with notes of apricots, citrus and dusty hops. Malty, fruity taste with citrus, apricots, caramel, and a gentle bitterness in the finish. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Tasty and well balanced. Quite nice.
