Finchcock's Original
an ale from
Westerham Brewery
Finchcock's Original
This drink, which we categorise as a 'Kent Session Beer,' has a strength of 3.5% ABV.

A session beer made using hops exclusively from the Finchcocks hop garden in Kent. Tasting notes by Adrian Tierney-Jones, author of the Big Book of Beer: Mid-gold session beer with hints of the Burton snatch on the nose (think struck matches), while wisps of citrus fruit float around in the background. The palate sings with citrus notes, a hint of resiny hoppiness as well as a crunchy biscuitiness that comes from the malt. The finish boasts more bitterness before a fade-out of grain dryness that reminds the drinker of the beer’s grainy origins. A powerfully flavoursome beer for such a low abv.
