Description
We are an Independent Family Brewer based in Dudley which has brewing on the same site since 1915.
The Brewery is still run by the fourth generation of The Holden Family and whilst they all enjoy a very much hands on approach to the business, they are still just as committed to their proud history and heritage and to the generations to come.

50cl bottle from Aldi, Bracknell. A brilliantly clear golden amber colour that catches the light, with a thin white head and light carbonation; floral aroma; crisp citrusy taste with a sweet biscuity body; and a herbal bitterness with a touch of spice, leaving a prickly finish. A rather good pale ale.

GBBF Day 3. Cask. Clear gold beer, a few white bubbles for a head. Palate is light and semi dry, modest fine carbonation. Light malts, mildly sweet. Tangy orange - lemon. Light floral finish. Mildly amusing.
