Description
St. Peter's is an independent brewery founded in 1996 by John Murphy in former agricultural buildings adjacent to St. Peter’s Hall in St Peter, South Elmham, near Bungay, Suffolk, England. Siting the brewery at St. Peter’s was ideal because of the excellent water quality from our own deep bore-hole. Locally malted barley is used, together with Kentish hops, to produce a range of classical beers (bitters, mild etc.) as well as some more unusual beers such as honey porter and fruit beer.

Fun fact: The oval shape of its signatory 500 ml bottle is based on an 18th-century gin bottle from Gibbstown, by the Delaware River near Philadelphia, USA.

Grainy nose. The beer starts grainy, watery. Hints of grain, floral grainy, mild with a bitter finish. Interesting.

Pours a nice looking deep red to light brown, with a low to medium sized creamy, quite compact head that shows very good retention and a bit of lacing; looks pretty nice. Average intensity in the aroma: a quite decent malty depth with upfront nuttiness, light toffee, maybe a hint of caramel, some rye bread spiciness giving it a spark, nice fruity notes of figs and lighter cherries. Pretty interesting and overall well integrated. Taste notes follow the aroma, maybe with a bit less definition/brightness, average intensity: medium sweetness, slightly below medium bitterness, a bit of sweet edge in the mouth, a light earthy bitter edge in finish/aftertaste. Quite light bodied with slightly below medium, thin bubbled carbonation; drinks pretty easy, as you'd expect from a bitter ale. Very nice, slightly unordinary bitter.
