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. Rust colored with a creamy tan head. Malty, with some fruit, and light hops. Smooth and easy to drink but not all that exciting.

[bottle] Slightly hazy, amber colour with a short and light-beige foamy head. Woody hoppy nose, combined with toasty malty accents and a moderate sweetness. Light-bitter flavour, light bodied with a smooth carbonation. Aromatic but also a bit slim and delicately toasted malty taste with notes of toffee, licorice and a woody and slightly herbal hops character. Moderately dry and bitter finish with licorice and toffee in the aftertaste. Not as hoppy as expected but a well-crafted and likeable brew [22.XII.08].

Cask-conditioned at the Bag ONails, Bristol 14/10/08. Mahogany coloured with no head and slight carbonation. Aroma of treacle, dark fruits with some earthiness. Flavour was very sweet, with more fruit, almonds and caramel. A rather vinous mouth feel and a short, bitter finish. Ok.
