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.

Cask. Weak hop aroma. Clear copper colour. Nice frothy white head. Smoky flavour, nicely creamy. The smokiness reminds me a little of horseblanket. Slightly buttery flavour, too, but OK.

Cask. Soapy aroma. The flavour is also soapy, hint of chlorine. Slightly buttery with a rough hoppiness. Hints of nuts and malt. The soapiness and chlorine are quite unpleasant, but seem to fade away after a while.

Cask. Good fruity hop aroma. Hazy orange colour. Small white head. The flavour is very nice, not powerful. Clean hoppiness, not so bitter, but with a nice fruity flavour and refreshingly citric. Thin mouthfeel, but in a nice drinkable way. A very good session pint.
