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.

Very fruity aroma. Somewhat sourish flavour, but in a positive way! Mmmmmmmmmmmmmh candy! A bit thin though.

Amber coloured. Sweet corn aroma mixed with vodka. Overly sweet, weak body, peppery alcohol finish. A badly failed experiment.

Sweet taste of corn but a quite bitter finish. Unbalanced...................

Eh, I wasn't too impressed with this one. Decent coloring but I was not a fan of the flavor, it was way too fruity and had a strong apple flavor, almost like a cider beer but not as smooth.

Flowery and sweet, i did not notice the ginger however - it tasted more like elder flower to me.

Amber coloured. The nose is so flowery and perfumy that we jokingly renamed it Golden Shampoo Ale... Light bodied, low bitterness. No favourite of mine.

Very earthy, with a touch of woody dryness, and an underlying medicinal or herbal character.

Sparkling copper colour; aroma of elderflowers and oven-fresh bread, with a pinch of sage and clover honey. The palate is light, the honeyish body is sweet but stylish featuring unfolding florals, winter melon, all built on a moderately bitter backbone. Sweet but refreshing in the finish, with more clover. It's funny though, as my overall impression is that this beer is not as good as the sum of its parts. Let's see what the other Ontario raters have to say.

Bronze; scant aroma; fairly earthy maltiness with brown sugar notes; very simplistic beer with a notably ironish finish that I didn't care for.
