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. (BB 12/2006). Pale golden color, not much head. Woody hoppy, nutty malty aroma. Malty with evident fruity grapefruit flavor. Grapefruit is nice, othwerwise is not impressive.

(Cask at Jerusalem Tavern, Farringdon, London, 1 Aug) Colour is amber with almost no head. Nose is fruity with grapefruit, rather one dimensional. Taste is fruity with a dominant grapefruit character and some hints of nuts (almonds). I wouldn’t call this complex, rather one dimensional, but still, nice and refreshing.

(Bottle at Haket in Gothenburg) Clear brown color, big white head. Small sweet scent. Taste starts off with old beer, but turns a bit fresh in the after taste. Very different! Medium mouth feel, low bitterness. A bit sweet corn after taste.

(Bottle at Haket in Gothenburg) Shady golden to orange color, big white head. Fresh, a bit too sweet, scent. Taste is hoppy and bitter, not the sweet cheap corn as in the smell. Normal mouth feel, medium high bitterness.

(Bottle at Haket in Gothenburg) Clear golden color with a small white head. Indeed lemon and ginger scent, though the lemon and also lime really takes over. Very sour and grape like taste, some old beer taste in the after taste, not very pleasant.
