Ringwood Brewery – Fortyniner

Posted by: Tony In: Bottles

Ringwood Brewery is a New Forest Beer which is 4.9%.

Label notes say “… it is a full bodied premium golden beer with a deep bitter-sweet finish.”

It is brewed with Maris Otter barley and Goldings, Progress, Fuggles and Challenger hops.

This is nicer than the Jennings ale of yesterday – principally because if isn’t super gassy. There is a nice bitter taste with a citrusy tone but I don’t think I could drink too many of these. Maybe I’m just not a big fan of the Golden Ales.

In summary – it is a nice bottle – probably best enjoyed out in the sun in the garden. I’ll score it 2.5 out of 5.
