Description
Brewed in the heart of Sussex, East Hoathly
So why The 1648 Brewing Company? The answer is on the decree in the Houses of Parliament, with Oliver Cromwell’s signature on it to remove the King’s Head. The beer is brewed in the Old Stables and village forge just next to the Kings Head Pub where three Ales are always available from the brewery .

500ml bottle from Beers of Europe. Pours clear gold, thin white head. Aromas of light spice, light floral, almost saison-y. Taste has more spice, ginger evident but restrained. Bit thin in the middle, but not bad.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol, 1/9/2014. Golden with a slight, white, head. Easy drinking for the ABV, with some cereal malts, touch of tropical fruit and moderately bitter finish. Ok.

Bottle conditioned 500ml. BBD 30 Sep 15, carefully poured into a UK pint sleeve on 13 Aug 14. Amber body with a copper hue, small off-white head. Malt base and front in both the nose and taste, semi-sweet molasses drown out the hop content but this is not overly sweet, I liked it. Mild nutty flavours in between the toffee and caramel feel to the brew, medium bodied and nicely put together.

500ml Bottle: BBD 30 May 15, poured into a UK pint sleeve at home on 13 Aug 14. Amber to deep golden in colour with a full white crown. The nose was a little yeasty and bordering on sour (off notes too) with a mini maltiness. It seemed almost like home brew to be honest as the taste followed the aromas very closely. Fruitiness within the flavours also, but the underlying taste was not good. Not overly impressed. Obtained from Beers of Europe. I ordered this because I loved this breweries Armistice brew, luckily their ’Triple Champion’ I had after this was fine.

Bottle 500ml as 1648 Smoked Ale. Rating from 2012.
Bernsteinfarben im Glas, leicht rauchiger Geruch, der zur typischen Ale-Note hinzu kommt. Das Bier selber ist malzig Ale-typisch, ganz leicht rauchig. Sehr süffig, da recht wenig Kohlensäure. Nachgeschmack ist leicht rauchig, süßlich und malzig mit leichter Bitternote. --> 10/12/9/10
