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.

Bottle on holiday in Lyme Regis. Clear gold beer, small white head. Light and minerally crisp palate. Slightly lagerish pale malts, traces of cream and honey. Pretty modest hopping, just a touch of citrus. Light semi dry finish. Okay.

Pours a clear mahogany brown colour with a small tan head. A rich fruity aroma, plum and raisin and sweet caramel malt. A moderately sweet malt taste, light roasted malt and caramelised brown sugar with dark fruit flavours. Some dryness and a peppery hop bitterness in the finish.

7th July 2018. Cask half-pint, gravity poured; The Boars Head, Bishops Castle. Golden body, white crown. Semi-sweet with more malt in the aromas and taste than hop, easy drinking brew that isn't going to test your senses too greatly.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Low key malty aroma. Bronze. Decent thick off-white head. Some initial hoppy bitterness but it's predominantly malty biscuit. Light-mesium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Abrupt finish. A pretty boring beer to celebrate Spring with, a slightly more hoppy then usual bitter.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. This was labelled as IPA, the cheeky old school bitter peddlers. Aroma of malts and sour berries. An slightly opaque amber brown. Thin bubbly white head. Light bitter. Some berries/stewed fruit but also biscuits and boiled veg. Medium bodied. Slick. Soft to flat carbonation. Astringent finish. Underwhelming.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Vague caramel and malts aroma. A dark orange amber, verging on brow. Fluffy white head. Light bitter with a sour edge. Berries and... erm... glue. Medium bodied. Slick. Flat carbonation. Long finish. Not too keen on this. Odd chemical element to it.
