Description
Sherfield Village Brewery started brewing in May 2011, using a five-barrel plant. We're based on a farm in the North Hampshire village of Sherfield on Loddon. As well as a range of traditional British bitters and stouts, we also make extensive use of New World hops, particularly the heavily floral and citrus-loaded New Zealand hops such as Green Bullet, Motueka and Pacific Jade. We're small, which means we're flexible as regards delivery times - by sticking to a local area for direct deliveries we're able to deliver quickly - usually within a couple of days. We are on SIBA's DDS list, so available to Enterprise, Admiral and other group pubs. SVB is a few miles north of Basingstoke and just ten miles south of Reading. Note that all our beer is supplied to the pub trade and to festivals in plastic 9-gallon firkins. Note that all our beers are now unfined, so vegan-friendly.

Cask at the 28th Ealing Beer Festival. Pours hazy amber brown with a small lasting bubbly off-white head. Aroma of hop, biscuit, caramel, malt, fruit and a touch of chocolate. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Finish is quite dry, with fruity bitterness, and with lasting chocolate note. Quite an intriguing combination.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 5 April 2017. Dark brown in colour, with a slight, off-white, head. Chocolate, some dark fruits, toasty malts and a touch of leafy hop, before a dryish finish. A bit thin bodied, but fine.

Clear amber-nut brown color, ok beige head. Mostly some sweetish caramel in the nose. Light-bodied. Earthy, even a bit cellary flavor. Light leafy hops. A bit dead and watery. No US or NZ hops traced.

Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. Chestnut in colour with a ring of cream head; aroma of caramel malts with a touch of red fruit; thin in the mouth, with a caramel taste and a gentle bitterness; before a dry finish. Disappointing.
