Description
The process of brewing beer hasn’t changed much since we started back in 1777. And neither has our unique approach to crafting characterful beer. But our equipment most certainly has.

Our state-of-the-art, independent, family-owned brewery now stands proudly alongside our old brewery on the banks of the River Stour in Blandford, Dorset. Using the finest ingredients and over 240 years of expertise, our brewers create beer that brims with flavour.

I’ve been trying to hunt this down and finally found it at the Iing’s Head in Poole. I can confirm that this is a solid ale if your ferret needs a drink.

Bottle from Auntie Suzanne, cheers! A bland but clean enough ale that can be justified for daytime drinking over Christmas.

440ml can from Tesco - hazy yellow body with a solid white head. Nice fruity hops, slightly on the sweet side, but a real easy going beer.

Can from Sainsburys. Pours deep brown towards black with beige to tan foam. Toasty choc malts, citrus, minor liquorice, grass. Body quite thin but nice flavours. I wasn't hopeful but it's actually alright.

Bottle generously donated by my old mate Paul who probably got it from Lewisham Tescos. Cherry & strawberry jam nose. Cherry drops taste. Sweet with a light bitter edge.

West Coast of England more like. Still, I enjoy it! Notes of toasted crackers, earth, dry pine, graham cracker, a hint of toasted caramel, mellow bitterness, British yeast. Tame but rather nicely balanced. Malty. Simple. Drinkable.
