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.

Can. Hazy orange gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Light and slightly thin pale malts, adequate creamy sweetness. Nectaron hops really singing here, peachy tropical fruits and a lesser but very nice peachy citrus. Little mango and Nectarine. Modern Mosaic hops bring a touch of candy fruits. Mild hop spice on the light and semi dry finish. Very crushable.

Craft Beer Junction bottleshare, thanks to Fergus. Opaque black brown beer, good bubbly tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, reasonable fine carbonation. Fluffy dark malts, a thin dry dark malt sweetness, thin dark chocolate and dark chocolate malteasers. Decent fruits, a mix of ripe fruits and a much lesser brighter fruit. Light and semi dry finish. Not bad but 2 stellar hops, Sabro and Zappa, lost here, which is a real shame.

Can. Hazy yellow gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Nice nose of pineapple, pine and mild skunk. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth light pale malts, a light creamy sweetness. Light smooth piney hop intro. The pineapple from the nose carries over but not with the same intensity. Mild mandarin tangerine and a little savoury skunk. Hop spice starting to nibble on the semi dry finish. Would not have guessed this was a single hop Citra beer. Still, nice!
