About
Inspired by the Wiltshire landscape surrounding us, we work towards being the most sustainable brewery that we can be. Most importantly, when we began and with the right tools in our hands, we knew that we could create a mighty fine pint. A small team then set about with a vision for handcrafting ales from plough to pint. Using barley from our fields and chalk-filtered water from our own source, we’re bigger and bolder than we were then, but with the same knowledge that nothing quite beats the taste of a decidedly good pint after a long day.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Tuns, Bristol 18/02/2012. Copper coloured with a slight, off-white head. Sweet, caramel, beery fruit and cereal aroma. Flavour was similar, with some fruit cake sweet and nuttiness, solid malts and a gently bitter finish. Decent.

Cask at the Old Gaolhouse (JDW), Winchester. Deep copper with a loose cream head; bubblegum aroma; distinct taste of "Fruit Salad" sweets to start, then a fresh, gentle bitterness; before a cinder toffee finish. Not bad.

Cask@Black Door, Helsinki (autumn 2011). Pale golden colour with a mediumsized white foamy head. Aroma is fruity and floral with a bunch of nectary sweetness. Also some mild nuttyness as well as some bready and a bit sweeter malts as well. Flavour is caramel malts, mild bready/biscuity notes along with some fruity and floral sweet notes. Ends in a rather floral and grassy bitterness. Pleasant.
