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.

Every good quizzer knows that the river running through Norwich is the Wensum. Running through me is this lemon citrus lager, quite a good body and fairly flavoursome.

Large rocky white head left a froth in a dark reddish brown coloured body.
Coffee, chocolate & tiramisu aroma - smells a bit fake TBH.
Medium bodied, smooth with a cloying back.
Chocolate, coffee & sweet concentrated berries with an overly sweet finish.
Tastes completely fake with the added flavourings - very poor from this excellent brewery.

Bottle in England. Aroma is light toffee malt, lots of caramel, a bit butty, hint of apples. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with a lightly bitter finish. Body is light to medium. Promises fruity Cascade, it doesn’t deliver upon that promise at all. This is all caramel malt.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto da pompelmo e frutta tropicale. La finezza olfattiva è molto elevata e il modo in cui permane è pregevole. Il mant birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma che resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di consistenza limpida. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è strutturato. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di miele, frutta secca, agrumi, pompelmo, ananas, mango, frutta tropicale, mandarino e pesca

Аромат очнень солодовый, причем бьет прямо в лицо, легкая пресноватость. Цвет как у лагера, очень золотистый, с сильной карбонизацией и белой пенкой пышной. Вкус очень слабый, слишком водянистый, кроме сомнительного солода ничего не нашел. Да и еще тухлые нотки носков при глотке. В общем разочарование.
