Description
We are an independent craft producer of cask and bottle-conditioned beers. Brewing behind the legendary & historic pub, The Talbot at Knightwick in Worcestershire.
The brewery was first opened in 1997 by the Clift family. Annie and Wiz Clift ran The Talbot at Knightwick, Worcestershire while their brother Philip ran the family farm at Lulsley Court nearby. The Clifts had been growing hops since the 19th century and a logical progression of the farm and pub businesses was to brew beer from their own hops to sell in their own pub. In August 1997 the brewery equipment was installed behind the pub and in September 1997 Chris Gooch joined as brewer.

Bottle from Booths, MediaCityUK [181114]
Dark amber, hazy, frothy fluffy white head, good lacing
Aroma of soft fruits, marmalade orange, soft yeast, caramel, good subtle aroma
Taste of caramel, marmalade malts, soft orange, light toffee, subtle flavour but tastes very good, nice spicy bit peppery hops, some yeast, quite a complex flavour
Palate - Soft carb. medium body, smooth, soft sweet, good mouthfeel. Finish is a bit dry, good spicy bitter tail
Overall - Very good tasting bitter, good use of English hops, no twigs. Surprised by this one.

Hazy amber beer, few pale cream colour bubbles not being a head. Palate is minerally crisp. Light thin malts, semi dry. Very modest hops, touch of citrus. Semi dry finish. Another very basic beer from this brewery, perfectly drinkable though.

Hazy gold beer, no real head. Palate is semi dry and mildly crisp. Thin and semi dry pale malts, touch of raw grain. Very mild orange citric hop. Dry finish. Hard to find much to say here, simple and inoffensive.

Clear amber beer, decent pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry with good fine carbonation. Light malts, mild and unsweet dark toffee turning to a smoother sweeter caramel. Floral bitter hops and dried fruits. Semi dry finish. Medium bitter linger. Not bad.

500ml Bottle - Copper in colour. Biscuity malt, dried fruit and earthy hops in the aroma. Nicely balanced taste with notes of dried fruit and earthy hops combining nicely along with some biscuity malt in the finish.

500ml Bottle - Golden in colour. Lemon, peach and a hint of mango in the aroma. Crisp, hoppy and refreshing taste with notes of lemon, apricot and tangerine. The UK Cascade hops are clearly not the same as the American version but this is an interesting beer made with British hops.
