Description
Over a decade of unpleasant commuting into London and a love of homebrewing lead to the Potton Brewing Co being established in late 2017, with our first beers hitting the local pubs the following spring.

Our beers are made from only the finest ingredients and no corners are cut in order to save a few pennies. We produce a range of different beers, from the traditional to the more modern, with the occasional seasonal or special.

Our beer is available to the pub trade, shops and public in cask and bottle.

My bottle @ benzai. Orange to amber colour with no head. Smells slightly hoppy, malts, fresh. Tastes hops, malts, slightly barley, hay, barnyard. Easy drinkable, good tasting beer. Nice and light.

50cl bottle @ home. Clear copper color, medium sized white to off-white head that diminishes fairly quickly. Smell malts and a light fruityness. Taste malts, a hint of raisins, a hint of chalk, slightly bitter. Low to medium body and carbonation.

Dry bitterness from this beer, but everything else is right target for the style.

Served on Cask at the Sussex Arms, Twickenham (Dec ’11). Dark blonde to light amber in coulour with a small frothy white head - looked in good form! Hops and citrus dominated the smell, though neither were of an overbearing nature. Tastes were of grain, straw, hops, citrus - probably lemon, perhaps a hint of grapefruit. Mouthfeel was ok, not a strong beer by ABV and little lacing on the glass perhaps a little thinner than I prefer, but this is not to detract from a decent cask ale with a good bit mroe flavour than others at 3.6% ABV!

500ml Bottle: best before Jan 2013, poured into my Abbot Ale glass tankard on 15th June 2012. Lovely deep copper coloured body, on top an off-white crown of bubbles which sadly turned to a wisp and collar far, far too quickly. The nose has toffee and caramel within: but not overly sweet by any means. The taste is also leaning towards a maltier feel initially, but very dry in the mouthfeel and a bitter finish smacks your cheeks together somewhat. The maltiness is just a foil for the hops to hide behind until you take a proper gulp and discover the true flavours. Just a bit too dry for my palate, but otherwise fine: would suit a hop liking drinker more than a malt person such as myself.

Bottled at oh6gdx’s birthday bash at chriso’s. Clear amber, small head. Light-medium bodied. Some grassy hops, bready malt and notes of glue. Low bitterness. Doughy bread is the remaining impression.
