Annual Grappenhall Beer Festival Featured Beers & tasting notes NB: List correct as at May 17th 2004
Conker-coloured smooth ale with a balanced malt and hops flavour, leaving a bitter aftertaste. KHEAN – LEG SPINNER 4.4% Gold coloured beer with a sharp flavour and strong bitter finish. OSSETT – FINE FETTLE 4.8% Strong yet refreshing pale ale with a crisp clean flavour and citrus fruity aroma. CAIRNGORM – BLACK GOLD 4.4% A Scottish stout with a rich dark colour, traditional smooth sweetness with underlying roast barley hints. CAIRNGORM – HIGHLAND I.P.A. 3.6% A light ale with a crisp freshness. HARVIESTOUN – SPRING FEVER 3.8% A light golden beer with a clean sharp taste topped with a creamy white head. Hops are challanger and styrian. HARVIESTOUN – INDIAN SUMMER 4.1% A heavily hopped beer in the style that was exported to the British troops in India. We have used traditional Fuggles and East Kent Goldings with a late hopping of Styrian.
A dark chestnut coloured ale. Crammed full of roast malt flavours, it is complimented with superb dry hop aromas derived from the choicest East Kent Goldings. Do not be left at the starting point with this beer. HOOK NOTTON – FIRST LIGHT 4.3% A very pale, light brew with a complex hop aroma. The continental – type palate is from the high proportion of Malted Wheat, which is used in addition to Malted Barley. Styrian Goldings hops are added, which give a fruity nose, with hints of watermelon and lychees. NETHERGATE – SUFFOLK COUNTY 4.00% A fine balanced beer with plenty of hops and malt that gives the Classic Nethergate taste. NETHERGATE – WISE MONKEY 4.2% An amber coloured ale using a mixture of Pale, Carapils, Amber and Crystal Malts with an added touch of Black Malt to give the amber colour a hint of redness. JENNINGS – CRAG RAT 4.3% A refreshing golden coloured bitter, brewed using pale ale malt and 2 classic varieties of English Whole Cone Hops to give a delicate flavour and aroma. OAKHAM – MOMPESSON GOLD 5.0% A golden summer ale brewed with a mixture of Czech, American and English hops. A delicately hoppy ale with a long spicy finish. OAKHAM – BARTON MILD 4.1% A traditional dark mild, moderately hoppy with a nutty finish.
Fruity, malty aroma to this amber beer. Malt, fruit and bitter taste and a dry, hoppy finish.
A red/brown beer with a malty, fruity aroma. Strongly malty and fruity in flavour and quite hoppy, with a sweetness yielding to a dryness in the aftertaste. WEETWOOD ALES – OAST-HOUSE GOLD 5.0% Straw coloured beer. Addition of wheat malt producing a full and memorable foretaste, with goldings adding a lingering, unique dry finish. OKELL’S of the Isle of Man – DOCTOR OKELL’S I.P.A. 4.5% An extremely light coloured beer with a surprising full-bodied taste. The sweetness is offset by a very strong hopping rate, which gives the finished beer an overall roundness, with very spicy lemony notes and a fine, dry finish to counteract the initial sweetness.
Initial sweetness leads into a full bitterness with definite tastes of amber malt onto a full all-round finish. CAINS – 2008 CELEBRATION ALE 5.0% A full,
clean and refreshing pale coloured bitter with an abundance of citrus
hop character created by the blend of dry and late hopping techniques.
It also has subtle hints of malt and fruit on aroma and palate, which
gives the beer a well-rounded balance. |
