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.

Keg at Liquid Dreams 26. Hazy dull gold. Thin foamy translucent white head. Aroma has stone fruit and pith but is low key. Flavourwise we have a tangy bitterness and citrus sourness with a candy edge. Underlying grains and malts. Light-medium bodied. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. The name is spot-on... fun but too clean with it.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A near clear deep amber beer, small bubbly pale tan head. Light smooth palate, mildly dry, good fine carbonation. Nice malts, a little caramel, not sweet, nutty goodness. Hops deliver soft pine, mild marmalade fruits, very mildly bitter. Light and semi dry finish. The basis of a very good brew, for me, just needs to be bolder.

Panda thanks to Cloin. Just a light haze on this slightly pale gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, tad thin really, semi dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Thin pale malts provide a pretty recessed sweetness. Crisp cooling pine. Touch of hop spice, very light. Mild savoury skunk and thin tangy lime and grape. Light and semi dry finish. A good beer in here somewhere but, this feels emaciated, really need to put on some weight.
