Hunsbury Copper

Cask conditioned gravity dispense Northants Beer Festival 2011. Hunsbury Craft Brewery is a one man set up, and that one man (John Margetts) is 79 years of age. He’s a good old boy but sadly this wasn’t a good old beer. It’s copper as you’d imagine with off-white bubbles. There is vinegary acidity in the nose and tart aceticness in the mouth. I didn’t finish my sample. It’s arguable whether we should have sold it but John tasted it himself on opening night and although he stated he was disappointed with it as it wasn’t quite right he certainly didn;t suggest it was wrong. Ach well. I’ll drink it again and hopefully it will be better.
