The Chiverton Arms

This dark-coloured beer is smooth, well-rounded and light to drink. Always a favourite with cask ale fanatics! It won a CAMRA gold award.

Tasting Notes: A mahogany colour, roasted, creamy, smooth smell and a sweet, soft, chocolate taste with enticingly sweet undertones of liquorice and a full malty aftertaste.

In recent years its popularity has grown to the extent that it is now Britain’s leading premium ale: a welcome fixture in many pubs and off licences around the country, and now winning new friends abroad.

Tasting Notes: Rich, smooth and elegant on the palate, it draws to a clean, satisfying finish with beautifully balanced bitterness.

Rich, sweet and malty with fruity esters and balanced bitterness.

Tasting Notes: Rich amber in colour and sweet malt and classic herbal resin hop in scent and taste.

A classic country ale from Dorset using a single hop variety for purity and character. First Gold are dwarf hops that grow in low hedgerows, more reminiscent of a vineyard, enabling a better quality harvest.

Tasting Notes: A clean, fresh, distinctive ale with hints of orange and spice from the hop, perfect with traditional English roasts and pies.

Brown Honey Ale

Tasting Notes: For our brown ale we ferment raw blossom and heather honeys to complement and add depth to darker roasted malts. A light hop bitterness finishes a flavoursome and unpasteurised brown ale. Beer derives all of its colour from the malted barley base and in this honey brown ale, our darker roasted malts produce a copper coloured liquid with a rich, chocolatey nose. The Admiral and Bramling Cross hops support the fruitiness of the raw Warwickshire blossom honey, and offer a delicate but lingering bitter finish.
