Camden Town Brewery
This brewery is an exciting product of the craft beer
upsurge we are experiencing today in Britain. Camden Town Brewery began its
life recently in 2010 representing the success of craft beer and its
increased popularity, exemplifying what craft beer should be like and why it is the future of brewing;
flavourful, unique and local with a tale to tell.
“Like the Queen wearing dirty sneakers, it’s
traditionally British with a rock star twist of American hops.”
This is exactly what this
beer is; a multicultural beer within a globalized world. This is not your standard
beer, instead it is packed full of flavours and fragrances that are intriguing
and plentiful. Even more it is locally brewed in London; you can’t get much fresher
than that.
The appearance of this beer
is a vibrant golden colour, which is illuminated by a heavily carbonated body
and a clean head. The aroma is the centre piece of this beer. Like many
American styled pale ales the aroma is fruity and aromatic with subtle
hoppy tones. For me this beer smelt like a fruit punch salad; the original
scent is full of freshness and delight, which is then complemented by a mild
citrus hoppy aroma to finish. After such an exciting start to this beer I was
ready to jump in and go swimming; I decided to drink it instead. The flavour
was powerful yet subtle. You are first hit by a sweet fresh flavour, which is
complimented by a hoppy bitter finish that is wonderful. The mouthful topped
off the experience; it has a watery texture and is slightly fizzy with a crisp
finish.
This beer is a must try. It
is exciting, tasty and exactly what a good craft beer should be. Overall this beer
is beautifully balanced and is one of the most refreshing beers I have tasted
that actually manages to maintain bags of flavour.
