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. Pours black colour with no head. Coffee, roasted notes, liquorice make up the aroma and taste. Creamy mouthfeel and light body with soft carbonation. Easily drinkable yet full of flavours.

Nice hoppiness, pine, goldings, solid malts. A little bit of minerals, sharp bitterness, but this is quiteimpressive for a gluten free beer. Easily the best one ive had.

nice aroma of caramel malt, and goldings, Flavour is well balanced, and bitter, a nice amount of sharp hops, and a smooth caramel maltiness, with a touch of nuts. A good bitter finish that lasts.

sweet malty aroma, a touch of hops. Flavour i’m getting an odd wet dog smell, meh, i’mnot liking this. there is also an odd sourness, really i think that has been sitting way too long.

Yes i can tatse the hops, but seriosuly this is your regualr english bitter, i dont know why its int he strong ale category its only 5.1%, yes thats slightly high in the UK, but there are lots of other beers that are high and as ESB’s. Meh nothing special. i was pretty disapointed.

500ml bottle.
dark orange pour, large fulffy white head. Aroma is slightly bready, with some grasy, and grainy notes. Not much hops going on here. The hopes come through in the finish with a nice bitternesss, but this is a more malt oriented beer. But all in all, not that interesting.
