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.

Bottle from Tesco. Mahogany colour with lasting beige head. Malty dusty slight Badger yeast and pepper hop on the aroma. Malty in mouth. Horrible pasteurised empty candy sugar towards end of palate. Sweetish ESB style finish. Yeasty ESB. It’s fine.

Orange/amber colour. Hints of grass and aniseed in the aroma. Flavour is quite floral and soft. Lacking somewhat in terms of depth of flavour.

[i] Bottle from Tesco, Cowley 02-11-07 [/i] Deep amber colour with white head. Aroma a bit sweet shop ’pick and mix’ or even jammie dodger? Quite a satisfying beer despite the sweetness, again the jammie dodger biscuitiness came back to me as did some spices not bad at all.

On draught at St. Stephens, London: Light to moderate amber coloured, no head to speak of, moderate, caramelly and fruity nose, mainly dry bitter flavour with a little sweetness in the background, light to medium bodied, lingering bitter-malty finish with an increasing bitterness in the aftertaste. Reasonable english session beer..........

500ml bottle. Bright amber with a thick greenish-white head, champagne-like carbonation; carmel malt aroma; very lively in the mouth; dry hoppy start, and then a sour apple fruitiness. Different, but not one I’d want to try again.
