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.

Clear amber color with a thin off white head. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation. Malty, mild fruity, toffee, some roast, bready and herbal flavor. Tad sweet and a mild bitterness. Not very inviting this one.

Cask at the Gunmakers, Marylebone, London. Pours golden with an average white head. Aroma of citrus and fruit, hop, and straw. Fairly light level of sweetness with a good accompanying level of bitterness. Medium body, texture quite sticky, soft carbonation. Finish has a lasting bitterness. A good summer ale this.

Cask @ North London Tavern, Kilburn, London. Golden-blonde with an extremely thin head. Hoppy and dry in character, although somewhat dirty in its nose. Has a light easy-drinking texture.
