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, courtesy of fonefan. A clear, golden beer with a minimal sized off-white head. The aroma has a lovely hoppyness, with pineapple, pine cones and a lemony touch. Not much evidence of the malts, but I know there must be some. The flavor has a fine bitterness, as well as the same things found in the aroma. Medium body, a bit flat. A quite pleasant one, especially hop wise. Drinks easily and tastes good. 110318

On gravity at the Tewkesbury Beer festival, 4/02/2011. Reddish brown in colour with a slight, off-white head. Slightly roasty aroma, with some citrus fruit and hazelnuts. Sweetish cereal malts and nuts, with some berry fruit and dryish finish. Good.

Bottle from Tanners Wines, Hereford. Deep brown and slightly hazy, with a big and rocky off-white head. Aroma of stoned fruits with a yeasty edge. Flavour had some sweetish fruit, a hint of chocolate and a decent bitter finish. Unusual and ok.

Bottle from the Hop Pocket, Bishops Frome, Herefordshire, 11.09.10 consumed 15.09.10 Pours murky brown head disappeared sharply. Nice fruitiness on nose, touch of yeastiness, good maltiness. The flavour is really good there is a dark chocolate rush but its very bitter cocoa orientated, challenging and hard but good, this is backed up by a solid fruity tang. Really likeable, not in the least bit sweet, sticky (as suggested in description) or cloying. A7 A3 T7 P4 Ov14 3.5

Bottle from The Hop Pocket, Bishops Frome, Herefordshire, 11.09.10 consumed later that day. Pours dark gold, clear as a bell with a slim white head. Some hoppiness on the nose also a touch floral. This turned out to be distincty average , light chewiness, some hops, bit thin and the flavour departed quite swiftly. The bitterness is ok, it’s fine enough. A7 A5 T6 P3 Ov12 3.3
