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.

Bottle. A brown, almost flat beer, just some dark beige bubbles on top. The aroma is pretty vinegar-ish, with roasted notes and caramel hints. Raisins too. The flavor has lots of acidity, with a roasted touch, dried fruits and some lemon. Sort of woody in the far back, but it’s the vinegar that is most evident. Full to medium body, dry and quite flat on the palate. Roasted finish with a lot of vinegar. Hides the alcohol well this one, but it doesn’t really help, it’s still nothing near wonderful. 140228
