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!

330 ml bottle, a gift from Holmen2, many thanks! ABV is 4.0%. Golden colour, small white head. Nice aroma of pale malts and hops (which I first thought to be be English, but apparently they are American: Chinook, Citra and Cascade). The flavour has sufficient malts for its ABV, and fairly distinct citric and piney hops with a surprisingly bitter aftertaste.

Cask @ Foundry, Canterbury. Dark clear copper with a bubbly head. Fine caramel malts in its nose, unappealing bitter malts in taste, where it feels somewhat thin.
