Description
Joseph Holt is a unique brewery: it embodies both traditional values and exceptional brewing. For more than 160 years the company has not only created and developed award winning beer, but also served the community of which it forms a part of. It has built sustainable jobs and worked with charities to deliver substantial benefits to people living in the brewery’s area of operations and beyond.
Established in 1849, Joseph Holt Ltd has been managed by its founding family for five generations. Throughout that time the company has been driven by traditions of professionalism, honesty and innovation. So the business, although rooted in the traditional values of a family firm with a reputation built on traditional draft and bottled beer, has always looked to evolve. The most recent developments in that evolution are the Crystal and Diamond range of lagers and the Golden Ale Two Hoots. These products join the collection of award winning lagers and excellent Smooth and Black keg beer.
The brewery has an established pub estate that is carefully managed to ensure that it is focused on growth.

Bottle from B&M Bargains; clear golden amber pour with white head, grassy aroma, taste is a bit skunky and slightly like a lager shandy, slight hint of maple. The drain is going to get wrecked tonight.

Hamilton Hall Spoons. Light haze on this gold beer, little white head. Palate is smooth and semi dry. Mild fine carbonation. Fresh and dry pale malt, slight rawness. Okay mild citrus hops. Finishes dry with a mellow bitter linger. It’s fine but a bit a bit dry.

Cask at The Lord Moon of the Mall on Whitehall. Pours light amber with a white head. Aroma is floral with a touch of fruit. Med minus body. Flavor is almost tropical fruit - but more likely light pitted fruit. Some citrus. Light caramel. Decently hoppy and moderately bitter.

Clear golden without a head. It comes in a clear bottle so light exposure gives it a slightly skunky aroma and taste, but remains drinkable.

Cask at the Old Manor (JDW), Bracknell. Amber with a ring of white head; malty aroma; soft and malty in the mouth with a gentle bitterness and a hint of spice. Surprisingly full bodied, and a good standard bitter - but not an IPA!
