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.

Half pint, cask at JDWs George in Croydon. A beige bubbly head resting on top of a deep amber-brown body. Fragile lacing. Brown malty nose. Caramel and dark bread to the taste buds offset by pine and leafy hop bitterness to the finish. Drinks quite well and fits the season nicely (shared with Finn, 28.11.2015).

Fra cask på George Croydon 28 Nov 15. Delt med Rune. Mørk brun med litt skum som raskt flater ut. Beskjeden nøttearoma. Smaken tørket frukt. Bare det. Veldig tørr avslutning.

Cask at the Eagle, Cambridge. Mid-gold with a loose white head. Slight citrusy smell: grapefruit and blood orange. Pleasant but simple. Lovely sweet taste with a bitter kick in the finish: hints of pear drops and Lotus biscuit spread. Competent golden, bordering on the gorgeous.

Bottle. Amber in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Floral hops, biscuity malts, a touch of citrus fruit, leading to a moderately bitter finish. Good.

Cask at the Hope Tap, Reading. Deep copper with a thick beige head. Caramel at first with a grassy, leafy bitter finish. More hoppy than the initial sip leads you to expect. Balance of bitterness against the malt is right but not sure I like the flavour of these hops. Not bad though.
