Description
Note to Brewver members:-
The majority of beers have historically been released as 'Canterbury - XYZ' so should appear in the beer listings without the brewery name.
There is also a range of beers, usually only available at the brewpub itself and smaller batch, released as 'Foundry - XYZ'. These beers therefore appear with the Foundry name first in the beer listings.
Canterbury Brewers is a traditional microbrewery and the only one based within the city walls of Canterbury. We produce a range of modern and fresh cask-conditioned ales using only the finest quality floor-malted barley, hops and yeast available. With our distinctive recipes and our beautiful new brewery situated on Whitehorse Lane, we aim to add something different to the ever-growing and vibrant micro-brew scene in Kent. The Foundry Brewery, which opened in June 2011, is in sight of Canterbury Cathedral and just off the high street, and includes a restaurant, bar and an eight-barrel brewery. Brewery tours and tastings run regularly, and our restaurant can be booked for special events and functions - just get in touch!

Bottle at the ChrisO Holiday Tasting, London - thanks to Ian for this beer! Pours cloudy gold with a fine, white foam head. Sweet white bread aroma. Light to medium sweet flavor, some fresh grass, toasty bread. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Grassy bitter finish, more white bread. OK, but the bitterness is a bit harsh.

Flaske 0,33l. Delt med Rune under seanse i H9 17 Jan 13. Gave fra Harrisoni. Thanks a lot. Gyldenbrun. Høyt luftig skum som daler sakte og etterlater kniplingsverk på glasset. Litt uklar. Atomsky i siste kvelling. Deilig fruktaroma. Smaken litt vassen. Aprikos.

Many thanks to Harrisoni for a 330ml bottle of this one which was passed over to Finn and me in London last November. Two-finger, bubbly head slowly fading over a hazy golden-amber body. Spotty lacing. Smell of apricot and oranges. Flavoured with half-dry fruits and juicy malts leading to a bittersweet finish. Medium bodied. Succulent in the mouth. Refreshing (with Finn at a session in Tromsø, 17.01.2013).

Bottle shared at CBC - Clerkenwell, London - generously given to me for my 25th birthday by Canterbury homer Ian. Pours clearish ruby with a fine, beige cream head. Ripe fruit nose, berries, plums, dates. Big sweet flavor, big apple sauce character, some sugary malts. Full bodied with fine carbonation. Lightly warming finish, somewhat sticky, with more apple sauce, light spices, other ripe fruits, berries. Sweet but decent.

Bottle at the ChrisO Holiday Tasting, London - massive thanks to Ian for continuing to source his local beers! Pours oily black-brown with a faint, tan bubble head. Dark malt nose, alcohol, some medicinal aspects. Big sweet flavor with tangy dark malts, plums, wet wood. Full bodied with dead flat carbonation. And it has a super oily mouthfeel. Lightly warming finish, medium sweetness, light toffee. Very flat and oily. Some chocolate in here. Interesting but fairly rough.

Flaske 0,5l delt med Rune under seanse hos ham 7 Jan 13. 5,8%-versjonen. Gave fra Harrisoni! Thanks a lot. Dyp amber. Veldig høyt luftig skum men mye lacing. Forsiktig røstet maltaroma. Ølet står til navnet - “Light Porter”. En må nesten få opplyst at det er en porter en drikker. Alle karakteristika er kraftig nedtonet. Men det er et bra øl. Masse bunnfall.

Flaske 0,5l delt med Rune under seanse hos ham 7 Jan 13. Gave fra Harrisoni! Thanks a lot. Gyldenbrun. Litt uklar. Høyt luftig skum med mye lacing. Pent! Forsiktig fruktaroma. Antydning til fjøssmak - men den går over i en tung bitterhet. Veldig uklar i siste kvelling.
