Description
Papworth Brewery is the inevitable outcome of a beer-loving scientist becoming disillusioned with his career. Chances are that you’re a beer lover too and can understand why someone would give up a successful 25 year career to brew beer. It’s got to be more interesting than most other jobs, right? Well, that’s the way our beer-loving scientist saw it. When “job satisfaction” is the taste of a good pint, who can argue?

Papworth Brewery was founded on an uncompromising philosophy, It’s All About The Beer, and an ambition to brew deliciously drinkable ales. The idea is that if we stick to the philosophy, then we’ll achieve the ambition.

Bottle from Co. In Cherry Hinton, drunk at home. It’s a lively bottle and spews out quite a bit when I open it. Caramel orange-brown, hazy with a huge beige rocky head. Malty and caramelly smells with the hintiest hint of ripe tropical fruit. I let it settle and sniff it again... nice enough but West Coast pale ale my ass. Tastes more like the real deal though: malt still dominates but there’s a sticky, resinous hop character that gives it more of a New World character. Medium finish. Oily body, well carbonated. I like it well enough.

Gravity cask at Cambridge Winter Ales Festival 2017. Russet brown, mostly clear, with a small tightish off-white head. Lots of visible natural carbonation. Caramel and floral hop aroma with bergamot standing out. Biscuity ginger nuts. Sweet fruity (ripe cherry) taste with notes of white chocolate. Bitterness in the latter half of the sip. Long balanced finish. More gingerbread in the aftertaste. Nice carbonation for cask. A surprisingly complex bitter.
