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.

500 ml bottle. Clear golden body with a medium white head. Aroma is fine but weak grainy. Flavor is refreshing, fruity, a bit acidulous and a hint of bitterness in the finish. A bit thin and weak body make this refreshing but easy forgotten.

Cask-conditioned at the Knights Templar (JDW), London WC2 16/5/08. Reddish-amber colour with a decent white head. Aroma of caramel and red fruit with some earthy hops. Flavour was sweetish, with plenty of doughy malt, fruit and a long, bitter finish. Enjoyable.

500 ml clear bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Golden colour, moderate head. Very nice hoppy aroma, notes of blackcurrants and tropical fruits. The flavour is fruity and hoppy throughout, notes of marmalade and grapefruit. Very refreshing and drinkable.

Cask@Kitty’s Public House, Helsinki
Pale copper brown color, good creamy white head. Honey sweetish aroma. As expected: very light palate. Light sweetish citric notes and nice crispy lemony aftertaste. Leaves a soapy mouthfeel. Easy to drink, but a bit too light for my taste.

Bottle, picked up at Millets Farm shop near Abingdon, Oxon, a week or so ago. Pours a ruby colour, quite tasty some nice fruitiness and malt with maybe just a touch of a hoppy note in the aroma, much better than the Gold I had last week.

Bottle picked up from Millets Farm, near Abingdon, Oxon 13-05-07. Poured gold with small white head. Not much of an aroma, some hops and bitterness coud be detected, but bland and lacking in all departments other than appearance which was fine.
