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.

Bottled. Clear, golden bitter with a small beige head. Malty-sweet start, then some faint notes of hops and fruits reach your nose. The flavor is quite sweet, with some hops in the background and finish. A medium-bodied and a bit one-dimentional ale. Rating: 6-3-6-3-12-3. (070302)

Bottle, courtesy of tarjei. It pours a clear, quite dark golden body, topped by a small, off-white head. Weak aroma where caramel and maltyness dominates, and has company of some fruity and citrusy hops. The flavor is citrusy and fruity up front, followed by malt and caramel, and ends with a nice citrusy bitterness. Medium body. Nice and refreshing, but way too similar to the other St. Peters bitters. (081108)

A golden amber ale with a rich thick lacing off white head. Aroma of wet dough, treacle and grass. In mouth, a rather grassy malt, lightly sweet, with light nuttyness, and roasted malts. Medium bodied. Bottle marked E186.

500 ml green bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Very dark reddish brown colour, nearly black, nice brown head. LOVELY vinous aroma with oak, raisins, chocolate, roasted malts, liquorice, some coffee. The flavour has much of the same elements as the aroma, chocolate and sweet malts (but not too sweet) are in front. A roasty and hoppy bitterness in the aftertaste. Very full and rich mouthfeel. Blimey - this IS an excellent beer! LUVVERLY!

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear warm mahogany with a small, rough, off-white head. Aroma of cinnamon and roasted malt. Medium-bodied, hard roasted/burned malt dominate with a whiff of cinnamon in the finish. Distinct bitterness from the malt. OK, but quite odd. 040307

A clear orange beer with an orange head. The aroma is sweet malty with loads of wheat and light dusty hoppy notes. The flavor is sweet malty with a light touch of wheat. An OK beer, but boring compared to the rest of the St. Peters lineup.

Cask at Jerusalem Tavern, London. A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is malty and fruity combined with an acidic note. The flavor is very acidic, though with some malt sweetness and caramel lingering in the background. I wonder where the acidity stems from.

Bottled. An amber beer with no head. The aroma is nicely hoppy. The flavor is sour yet fresh with a very dry finish.

Cask at Jerusalem Tavern, London. A hazy orange beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is strong of ginger, and the flavor is sweet with ginger being the most dominant note, but on a nice malty back ground.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with an orange head. The aroma is fantastic with strong notes of ginger and lemongrass. But the flavor besides containing lots of ginger also has a weird plastic note to it.
