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.

Håndpumpet half pint på Anglesea Arms, South Kensington: standard utseende og aroma for en lett bitter, med grei men ikke spesielt minneverdig smak av lys citrus og litt gress. Forsiktig bitterhet i avslutningen, halvtørr.

Cask at the Hope Tap (JDW), Reading. Dark amber with a tight cream head; rye aroma; sour grain taste with some orangey fruit; and a pleasant prickly bitterness before a dry finish. Full of flavour and very drinkable.

Cask at the Kew garden hotel. Pale golden coloured pour with a lasting white froth. Aroma is pale sweet grains, light orange note and little berry. Flavour is composed of base malts, semi sweet grains, light delicate citrus orange and berry hop. Simple beer well executed and very drinkable. Palate is light and soft, nice cask condition.

Cask at my local GK hungry horse, which normally only has GK beers so this was something of a find! Poured a pale gold colour with small bubbly head. Aroma is mildly hoppy, floral with notes of orange. Fairly high level of bitterness, light sweetness. Light body, average carbonation. Texture slightly sticky. Lasting bitterness to finish. --- Beer aliased from original tick of Kew Gardens Golden Ale on 19 Dec 2022 at 20:14 - Score: Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5.5. Original review text: 19/12/2022. Bottle bought by MrsB at Kew Gardens. Pours clear dark golden with a small frothy/creamy long lasting white head. Decent looking pour. Aroma is buttery, caramel, malt, fruit, biscuit, earthy edge. Quite sweet with mild bitterness. Moderate body, oily and slightly watery, soft carbonation. Sweet and slightly chalky finish. It's okay.
