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.

Keg at WBB CJ. It pours turbid orange with a medium foamy white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, juicy, ripe fruits, peach, mango, nectarine, apricot, brioche and green weedy notes. The taste is dry, soft bitterness, slightly chalky, minerals, ripe stone fruits, apricot, mango, orange marmalade, green, grassy, waxy peel, creamy and wood with a drying and green finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Decent go at the style. Pretty good fun.
