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. A hazy pale amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet and rather citrusy on a light malty back ground. The flavor is sweet with powerful citrusy hoppy notes on a light malty back ground, leading to a rather bitter finish.
Bottled. An orange beer with a thin disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet combined with an acidic note, as well as some fruity notes. The flavor is acidic fruity, with a thin body. An extremely boring bottled conditioned beer. [3/3/3/1/5]

500 ml brown bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. Bottle conditioned, ABV is 5.0%. According to the label, the beer is now available only in bottles. The beer gushes out of the bottle when opening. Hazy reddish brown colour, huge, creamy and long lasting off-white head. Vinous aroma with notes of moderate malts, barnyard and balsamic vinegar. Flavour is distinctly hoppy throughout, but there is also a moderately sweet maltiness with hints of caramel. Moderate carbonation in the glass. Bitter aftertaste. I get a "homebrew" feeling with this one. I like it!

An amber beer with a lazing light brown head. The aroma is weird with notes of acidity and elderberries. The flavor is acidic malty with notes of caramel, leading to an end with notes of citrus, but where the acidity still lingers around. Not that nice.
