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.

Served by a very proud barman in a Malmaison Hotel. Beautifully presented (it does matter!) with a fresh delicate cascade dominated nose. Clean and refreshing palate livener with very small bubbles and a dry taste. I was hugely impressed and thoroughly enjoyed it. Doug Thomas

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

Bottle. Golden colour with a slim white, soon gone, head. Sweet and hoppy aroma. Taste is a bit different, just not sure if it’s in a good way; quite crisp, fruity and dry. On refelction; not too bad.

Bottle at home ... Crisp golden orange .... a lager hop nose with just a hint of soft malts ... smooth and sweet ... light carbonation ... not by thing but as lager goes not to bad.

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

Bottle. Poured nice golden yellow with almost no head. A musty aroma with no clear smell. First sip tasted clearly like a lager with no real notice of the champagne yeast. However as I sipped further, more flavor and complexity came out. Finish was slightly dry. All in all, not a bad beer.

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.
