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.

Panda at home, thanks to SHIG, 19/11/21. Light murk on a reddish amber pour with a decent beige covering. Nose is dried fruits, spice, grains, biscuit, toffee, dusty hops. Taste comprises dark malts, toffee, spice, biscuit, dried fruit esters, straw, caramel, red berry nip. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a mellow bitter edge. Ok quaffable affair but struggling to see this as an IPA in any form other than a red one ... has to be this ... changed style Mr Shig.
