Description
Twickenham Fine Ales was the first brewery in Twickenham since Cole’s Brewery closed in 1906. In the beginning there was a 10 barrel plant which was installed in a small unit opposite a Greggs Bakery factory – pint and a pasty seeming natural bedfellows.

The early days of experimentation and trial settled down with the arrival of Tom Madeiros, as Brewer, in 2005. Being American the use of American hops seemed a natural path and Twickenham became an early adopter of the now popular and more common place hops used in many beers today.

The variety of hops grew and Twickenham now uses hops from countries including: England, Germany, Slovenia, USA, Australia and New Zealand.

On tap cask at Waterloo Tap. Clear very deep brown colour. Lasting beige head. Decent enough American brown. Lots of hops. Lots of chocolate lime sweets. Quite dry though. A little under carbonated but still OK. Lots of good flavours. I liked it then again I like this style. Haven't had one in a bit.

Pours a clear light golden colour with a small thick foamy near white head. Aroma is predominately light pale malt and a little fruit. A sweet light malt taste, smooth and light fruitiness with a citrusy hop bitterness in the finish.
