Commercial Description:
Available filtered and pasteurised in bottles and cans.
NOTE: Only ratings for the bottled vesrion should be entered here. The cask version has a separate listing.

Full-bodied with complex fruit flavours, Bishops Finger is a strong premium cask-conditioned ale brewed to a traditional Kentish recipe. What’s behind the name? Well, a Bishops Finger is an unusual finger-shaped signpost still found in Kent, which once pointed pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. Only the finest malted barley, Kent hops and fresh water from our own artesian well are used in the production of one of Britain’s best-loved ales, which is also exported in bottles to more than 30 countries worldwide.

Deep copper beer with a fresh and fruity aroma. Notes of crispe malt, too. The flavour is nice malty with nice citrussy hoppyness, fruity and with dry, bitter end. Not the most complex beer but nice

Draught 5.0%ABV (Gallows Bird, Espoo) Welcoming bitter nose. Covers the tongue with rich maltiness and bitterness. Classis English style.

Nut brown colour. Aroma is dominated by roasted malt and some hop. Taste is dry but rich and hoppy. Plenty of malt there too. Quite easy on the pallet despite its relative dryness.

Pours a copper orange with a nice, foamy, off white head. Aroma is fruit, malt, floral hops, and some sour. Body is a bit thin. Flavor is a bit citrus, malt, nd some caramel. Finishes with increasing dry biterness. Solid.

[BOTTLED : 28/02/07] Not as good as it was from the cask but still a nice pleasant ale with good flavour and an overall satifying taste.

Tasted 2007-04-01. Fresh bottle, 50cl. Dark red / orange. Clear. Off white head. Hoppy aroma of caramel and a bit of grass. Tastes somewhat like a thinned down barley wine. It’s good!
