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. Clear golden colour with a small longlasting white head. Fruity aroma of ginger and some hints of citrus. Sweet fruity flavor with lots of ginger and some hints of citrus. Has a sweet bitter ginger aftertaste. Not an easy beer to drink.

Golden ale with a thin white head. Sweet lemony aroma, almost like a wheat, veering on a Bellevue/mass-market gueuze. In mouth, rather unpleasant and sweet, with the said ginger coming way too sharp. The bitterness and the ginger do not go well together. Bought in London, Feb. 2005.

Bottle from Morrisons. Amber coloured beer with a small white head, wonderful initial burst of hops, fruit also florally both in the aroma and the taste and pleasantly bitter but this initial full attack of the senses soon dissapears. A very good beer which promised to be even better but couldn’t quite sustain it.

Golden reddish ale with a thin lacing white head. Skunk aroma comes out as beer is opened (clear glass), leading to light crisp malt and oxidation. In mouth, crisp sweetish malt with strong metallic notes, heavy nuttyness, cloying and unpleasant. BB July 2005, so not that old. Bought in March 2005, in Halifax.

500ml Bottle from Tesco. This seems to be one of those beers that sharply divides opinion reading through some of the other reviews. I am on the positive side, but I accept that the incredible peachy aroma can be a little bit too much for some, I think that its great, the peach carried on through into the beer and this was the only downside in that the taste whilst I enjoyed it never quite lived up to that magnificent aroma. Looking forward to trying this on cask at some point. My girlfriend really likes this and like someone else had mentioned more beers that are gonna’ appeal to the fairer sex can only be a good thing.

A copper colored beer with a dense light brown head. The aroma is sweet and very hoppy with a distinct lemony acidic note - very fresh. The flavor is sweet and very flowery - almost perfumated, with a touch of caramel in the background, leading to a bitter somewhat carbonated end.

Cask handpull at Phoenix, Canterbury. Ruby beer with bubbly thin beige head. Some yeast but also dark red fruit. Winter beers are a bit sweeter I think this year. Touch of vanilla. Smooth sweet fruit finish has yeast and some puckering of the mouth. Quite pleasant with yeast/sour sweet fruit.
