Description
In 1981, Peter Mauldon, the great grandson of Anna Maria decided to re-establish the family tradition and start a brewery in Sudbury once again. Peter had been too young to be involved in the original family business and had previously pursued a career with Messrs. Watney where he progressed to Head Brewer at the company’s large Mortlake Brewery.

2nd January 2009. Bottle. Clear gold beer - not much head. Crisp palate. Just a tiny bit of hop aggression. The honey is supposed to give a sweet finish but only manages to prevent a bitter one. A bit watery.

[Cask at the Back of Beyond, Reading] Dirty amber-bronze with a small off-white head. Slight fizz, yet a rather oily mouthfeel. Caramel, apple and melted plastic at first. Sweet and sickly, leading into a licquorice and cardomom finish. I generally dislike licquorice flavours, which biased me against this beer, but even taking that into account there didn’t seem much else to redeem it anyway. This is pretty nasty stuff.
