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.

10/07/2021: Shared with Dan and Grumbo at the Pre Euro 2020 final Share. Aroma of banana, herbs and bubble gum. Fruitiness is trying to come through on the taste with low carbonation. Not the best but not bad.

Sample courtesy of Grumbo, cheers! Aroma of toffee apple, limited amount of funk and hints of flowers. Sweet apple taste, hints of tart. Decent body and not bad.

Bottle from Waitrose. Clear copper coloured pour with decent looking off-white head. Biscuit, grain and grassy to hay aroma with a hint of spice. Taste of biscuit, bread, hint of Autumn fruit and quite a notable bitter herbal hop finish. Light+ bodied but has a certain slickness and soft carb, semi-drying. Good.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours a light murky dark gold with small consistent white head. Aroma of flora and grapefruit, some earthiness. Taste has citrus zest, grapefruit, earthiness, biscuit, moderate bitterness, semi-dry in the finish. Light to medium bodied, nice soft carbonation. This has more flavour than your average St Peters pale/blonde ale. Good mouthfeel to it in particular.

Bottle from Beers of Europe. Black pour with small beige head but with a fairly fizzy carbonation so head doesn't dissipates after a while. Inviting aroma of roasted malt, berries and liquorice. Flavour wise the roast and liquorice is at the forefront with a raisin and blackberry fruitiness giving it balance. Very dry finish with hints of coffee. A little light in the body but as its quite rich this works well. Decent porter.
