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.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this gold beer, thin bubbly white head, gone in a jiffy. Thinnish palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin pale malts, an adequate sweetness. Hops bring cooling pine and slightly ripe citrus and stone fruits. Light finish shows a very mild hop spice. It's a decent brew but really not getting me excited on any level.

Can. Hazy gold beer, decent bubbly pale cream colour head. Airy palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Airy pale malts, a light but decent creamy sweetness. Pretty decent Nelson hops, a nice light tangy gooseberry and mellow grape. I think I have tasted more decent Nelson this year than the previous 10 years put together. A little hop spice and a mild savoury skunk on the light finish. Very nice single hop dipa.
