About
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.

500ml bottle from Waitrose, in Bath, England. Pours a crystal clear orange-bronze color with a thick beige head and excellent retention. Great lacing too. Light hoppy aroma. Mellow caramel malt flavor with very faint hoppy notes in the finish. Sweeter and more flavorful than any bitters I had on tap in England. A nice, mellow, flavorful, easy drinking beer. Medium body. Low carbonation. Low bitterness.

Very nice overall. Nice toasted bready malts, a little toffee, faint British yeast, impressions of cherry/semi-dark fruits. Well balanced and highly drinkable label.

Isle Of Wight Holiday Beer#35. Having this one with lunch at St. Catherine's Oratory. Quite rich with the fruit despite it not being too stated. Aroma of cherry too. Nice, but hard to decide if I'd want a second one of these or not.

Bottle from Tesco, Brooklands. Opaque chestnut. Thick frothy beige head. Aroma has a tang of berries sharpness alongside a syrupy berry sweetness and equally swret caramel. Flavourwise it has tart berries over chewy caramel malts. Some cherry sweetness in the mix too, but not as intrusive as per the aroma. Hiwever, Inthen drink on and the sweetness.does gain prevalence. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Soft fizzy carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Alright but too reminiscent of artificial flavourings and sweetners.

Golden amber with a big frothy white head and a syrupy fruit aroma. Fruity and malty with a little kick, some hop bitterness and a dry finish

Saving this one for too long, so decided to have it on a whim. And I was not disappointed. Huge flavour of malt and perfectly balanced hops. And it is just so smooth.
