Kingstone Brewery is a four barrel micro brewery located in Tintern, in the heart of the Wye Valley. Our real ales are adapted from traditional recipes to suit modern pallets. From hearty IPA’s to quaffable bitters and golden hoppy ales. We offer a beer for every occasion.
We here at Kingstone are unwilling to compromise on the traditional brewing process, therefore we choose to hand brew, and hand bottle our ales using traditional ingredients. Our beers are unfiltered, unpasteurised and bottle conditioned to develop a fuller flavour, finer bubble and more subtle texture!

Bottle from Oakchurch Farm Shop, Staunton on Wye, Herefordshire, consumed 23-09-09 Pours warm gold edging towards light amber with white head. Touch perfumey on the nose but backed up with some citrus, maybe some orange blossom. Flavour also had a slight perfume quality about it but really quite decent stuff, good malty base, even a little toffee mixed up with some citric bitterness, enjoyable. A6 A3 F7 P3 Ov14 3.3

Bottle conditioned from Bacchus, Crickhowell. Orangey-gold with no head and a touch of carbonation. Familiar Kingstone aroma of orange hops and earthy malts. Flavour was much the same, with a citrus, slightly American hop kick and a dry finish. Ok.

Bottled (at ChrisO, BB 12/2008). Orange color, huge cloudy off-white head, lace. Grassy hops, cardboard. Grapefruity hoppyness, some sweet maltyness in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, probably because of the age. A bit cardboardish woody notes in the aftertaste. When fresh, probably really good.
