Smiths Tavern

A gloriously zesty blonde, brewed using a combination of classic English hops from Hereford giving a subtle but complex bitterness and North American Yakima Valley hops releasing citrus, grapefruit zestyness.

Tasting Notes: Sunbeam has a vibrant hop aroma and a shimmering blonde colour. The rich gooseberry and zesty grapefruit taste create and easy drinking beer with a clean long after taste.g

Brewed in Oxfordshire, using the famous Henley ‘ double-drop ’ fermentation system in Victorian copper fermentation vessels from the orignal Henley brewery.

Tasting Notes: This amber ale has a crystal malt and a well hopped bitterness in taste, which transforms into a bitter-sweet and fruity finish with a good fruit, hop and malt nose.

Fortyniner is named after the 1849 gold rush. Golden in colour and brewed to 4.9%, Ringwood has been brewing this classic beer since 1978’.

Tasting Notes: Golden brown, dry, toffee flavoured ale

Pedigree. Now with added personality. They haven’t changed the taste. Just how it looks. So welcome to the new-look Pedigree, or “P” as it was first known. Strange that, looking back.

Tasting Notes: Anyway, it has a fascinating aroma, with a palate of biscuit malt, spicy hops and light fruitiness. It was renamed in a staff competition back in George Peard’s day. He was the Head Brewer at the time – that’s him on the clip. Cheers George.
