Description
Ossett Brewery purchased the Fernandes Brewery and Pub in 2007. Proud of its heritage and under the watchful eye of head brewer Paul Spencer, Ossett Brewery has continued to brew many of the original beers, whilst also devising many new brews which have become firm favourites. Brewer, Steve Hutchinson, now brews around 90 different beers a year from the pale ‘Straw-Weight’ at 2.8% to impenetrable black, full bodied stouts, such as ‘Voodoo’ at 5.0%.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2007. Gold. Citrus aroma. Bit of butter/peanut. Very good grapefruit, decent condition, bit of sherbert. Maybe a bit green. I like it, got that golden bitter thing going on with lots of citrus flavours.

On gravity at Reading BF 5/5/07. Pale yellow with short lived head. Loads of floral and resiny hop aroma. Spiky yet enjoyable hop flavours with a long, dry finish. A very good beer, but I couldn’t manage pints of it at one sitting.

Half pint on gravity at The 24th Ipswich Beer Festival. Almost black body under a low head. Powerful aroma of roasted malt. Chocolate flavour with hints of dark fruit. Bitter sweetness in a lingering aftertaste. Enjoyable (21.09.2006).

Cask gravity London Drinker BF. Certainly my favourite mild of the festival. Black, thin beige head. Good choc/coffee bitterness. Good dark mild with plenty of flavour. Good dry tarry finish with more dark choc

Cask gravity at Dover BF 06. Golden beige bubbly head. Citrus hoppy aroma, lemon, grapefruit. Quite pleasant in mouth. Quite a good take on an American style IPA. Sweetness balances the hops well
