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 the Harp, London on 13th July 2012. Copper with thin off-white head and initial lacing. Sweetish fruity and malty aroma. Very malty in mouth with discreet grassiness and citric notes. Tangy citric finish. Light body and a smooth to light mouthfeel.

Cask. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of caramel and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, as well as a touch of butterscotch. This was presented as a traditional IPA - which is plainly wrong, some bartenders should study their beerstyles and beer history a lot more.

bottle, bought at the brewery. The beer is made for HIX restaurants in Lyme Regis. Brown colour, mid-sized beige head. Very full-bodied. Quite spicy, reminding me of a Christmas pudding. Would be a warming winter ale, also great in summer.

Bottle, courtesy of fonefan. It’s a clear golden beer, a small white head sits on top. The aroma is citrusy, with some malts. Rather one-tracked, just like the flavor, which also is dominated by citrus. Medium body with a pleasant level of carbonation. A drinkable beer indeed, sort of refreshing, but it’s so one dimensional it’s boring. 110319
