Description
There's a method in Mr Winter's madness. From the brew to the bottle, we carefully consider every element of our range to give you a taste of the unexpected.

With IPAs, golden ales and stouts in our range, we have a beer for every palate. From light and fruity, to dark and nutty, each one combines high-quality hops with barely, water and yeast to create a unique, full-bodied flavour.

Started in September 2001 by Dave Winter, as Winter’s Brewery. In early 2020, the brewery changed it's branding to the current MrWinter’s.

500ml bottle bought from the brewery. Dark gold, a bit hazy with an uneven loose white head. Candied orange peel, apricot and hay in the aroma. Bittersweet, fruity taste with the bitterness augmented in the long finish. Peach tea and light tropical fruit in the aftertaste. Carbonation is soft to nil, which doesn't help the watery body but this is a small complaint. This is a really good golden.
