Commercial Description:
330ml bottle; Cold Filtered.
Curious Brew Brut is the result of a co-operation between English Wines' Frazer Thompson (formerly Heineken Global Brand Director), Owen Elias (UKVA Winemaker of the Year 2002 and 2003), and Andy Hepworth. The beer is brewed by Hepworth as a lager, using East Anglian malt and Cascade and Saaz hops. It is then re-fermented using Champagne yeast. Finally it is cold filtered and bottled.

Bottled. Cold, dry lager with something curious about it indeed - a not unpleasant itch on the tounge and a satisfying dryness.

Very lively at first but when it settled down it revealed itself to be a quite dry lager.Different but surprisingly pleasant.

Bottle from Macknade Farm Shop, Faversham. Dry lager with gentle fizz. Woody flavour, lingering - not pleasant. Tastes and smells musty and stale.

This is not as awful as you might expect a beer brewed by a winemaker to be. The hoppy nose leads to a crisp, fresh tasting lager with a dry finish. The champagne yeasts don’t seem to add a lot other than a gimmick, but it’s not too bad.
