Description
Kettlesmith Brewing Company is a small, independent craft micro-brewery located in Bradford on Avon, just outside of Bath. We brew modern interpretations of a wide variety of beer styles; we draw inspiration from our background in America and England as well as our love of Belgian beer.

We see beer as having a place in restaurants and at the dinner table as a serious alternative to wine, a passion spearheaded by Antony, who is our head brewer and a Certified Cicerone. We aim to support our products with information, education and food pairing advice. We partner with other food producers to encourage people to see beer with fresh eyes.

Can thanks to Ashton McCobb. Pours hazy golden orange with a thick white head. Aromas of citrus and yeast esters. Taste has a lick of yeast to it, more orange and white bread crusts. Slightly yeast heavy.

Can from the brewery online shop as ''Fogline Witbier'' which is worth mentioning since this brewery seems to have brought out several beers of different styles under the same beer name, which is fairly confusing. Appearance - cloudy yellow with a big, fluffy white head. Nose - definitely getting the expected dried orange and coriander seed. Also, a creamy banana wheat thing going on. Taste - creamy orange, banana and light spice, possibly coriander seed. Palate - light bodied, creamy in texture. Dry, spicy finish. Overall - quite nice.

Can from the brewery online shop. Appearance - cloudy yellow with a big fluffy white head. Nose - a bit pungent and damp dishcloth to be honest. Brown bread. Taste - bread, candied orange and some lemon zest. Palate - light bodied, dry finish. Overall - the nose was quite unpleasant but it got better after that.
