Description
Based on a busy working farm in the picturesque village of Bradfield in the Peak District, Bradfield Brewery have gone from milking 100 cows a day to brewing over 100,000 pints of beer a week! The brewery sprung to life with completion of its first Brew on 26th April 2005 and the brews have carried on flowing ever since.

Trivia: As the family had enjoyed 2 generations of farming at Watt House Farm and not wanting the cows to feel left out, some of the beers are named after breeds of cattle.

500ml bottle from Bier Huis. Gluten Free. Golden colour, white foam head and aroma of malt, grain, straw. Taste is malty, grainy, fruity, with some hay, straw and grassy bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry metallic bitter finish. Quite OK.

Bottle picked up by my pal Lucky Otter. Hazed gold. Lovely soppy white head. Nose has watery whisky. Bit of oak. Fusty citrus. Semi sweet grain in the background. Taste has some vanilla oak sweetness getting nicely dry and bitter. Slick and warming overall with soft rolling carbonation. Touch of boozy oak to finish. It’s a million miles away from the mess that is Belgian Blue.

Amazingly I have never drunk this beer before – despite having seen it many times. Anyway, cask at Military Arms, Sandbach (not yet listed in RB). Pours a pale straw with medium sized almost white head and good lacing. Aroma comprises of citrus and malts. In the mouth it is decidedly sweet and juicy with just a tiny hint of bitterness> A little watery with flavour of citrus and hint of grapefruit and some floral hops coming through later. Citrus lasts into the dry finish. This is decent – certainly more pleasant than I was expecting.

Rocky off white head on a copper coloured body. Malt toffee & bitter aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a sharp clean dry back. Toffee, malt, raisin & berry tastes with a tangy citrus finish. Nice one.

Cask at the Spoons in Tunbridge Wells. Creamy, rich, bitter hops and just pure drinkability. Really good. Not special but good.

Bottle from Keelham Farm Shop, Thornton. Deeper golden with a small head. Hops and malts evide, although a little more of the former is evident. Has some dryness and a gentle fruitiness, which is at its most stated in aroma.
