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.

An amber beer with an OK head, though fast diappearing. The aroma is a light fruity. The flavor is dominated by bitterness with some sweetness - good balance. With notes of malt and caramel.

(Bottle 50 cl) Beaútiful, deep, reddish copper - clear and filtered - with a decent, off-white head. Appears very bitter at first, but things are levelled out by some very smooth and tasty caramel malt. 270201

Bottled. Nut brown with rich head. Citrusy hop aroma. Medium dry and pleasantly malty with resiny hoppy finsih. Perhaps not overly complex, but elegant & tasty when fresh.
