Young's, Kew Brew (England) 
A financial contribution to the Royal Botanical Gardens at Kew is made for each bottle of Kew Brew sold. Marris Otter and crystal malts are brewed with Fuggle and Goldings hops, then the brew is late-hopped with Target hops grown at Kew Gardens. It is an amber/gold ale with a thick, creamy head. On the nose the late-hopping gives plenty of herbal and floral notes, with a lemony lightness and touches of clove and violets. On the palate it is rich and smooth, with a mouthfilling, creamy texture and plenty of plush, malty flavour. The hops begin to bit on the mid-palate, with plenty of grassy verve, and a nice earthy complexity builds, with fruity notes and a wine-like bite and acid balance. A lovely beer. 5.0% ABV, 50cl, �1.66, brewery website, Beersofeurope, Sainsbury's.  |  |
