Description
Hawkstone is the brainchild of Jeremy Clarkson and Rick and Emma from the Cotswold Brew Co. Having put blood, sweat and tears into cultivating his malting barley, Jeremy was determined that it be put to good use, so resolved to supply it directly to a local brewery to turn into lager. He was introduced to Rick and Emma from the Cotswold Brewery by the landlord at their local and they hit it off immediately. Like Jeremy, they’re committed to supporting local agriculture but they’re not just good people, they’re also excellent brewers. They created Hawkstone Lager - a brew of such exquisite quality that Jeremy decided to invest.

Bottle at home in London. Pours a clear, light brown with a wimpy, white head. Some toasted malts, wood and berries in the nose. Flavor is lightly sweet with a weak but pleasant malt base, with notes of dough, toast and dry leaves. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Finish is easy malts, faint tang and berries, a bit more bread. Pretty light for a dunkel. Not terrible.

330ml bottle, thanks to Finn for the share. Clear, amber body. Spotty lacework from a tiny, but lasting, white hue. Plain caramel malts to the nose. Dark, partly brittle, caramel in flavour offset by notes of leafy hops. Rounded dry bitter ending. Average plus (at Finns in Tromsø, 16.06.2011).
