Description
Baron Brewing is a playground for beer, where no two batches are the same. Made for the fun and love of the process – the next beer will be the best beer.
The brewery is based on a farm in Great Hormead, East Hertfordshire. The focus is to brew modern styles, particularly highly hopped ales and fresh lagers.
The 1000L brewhouse allows for an ever-changing range of beers to be brewed. Each style will be pushed to its limits, with the evolution and development of new flavours.

Flavour is composed of semi sweet, loose wheat, tangy orange, pithy, medium dank, floury wheat. Palate is semi sweet, light tang, waxy citrus, highish carbonation. Good stuff.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with a white head that holds. No visible carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of waxed lemon and cake. Flavour of pineapple and flower stems. Medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. A solid IPA that (for me) doesn’t have the shine of my favourite IPAs.
