The Blandford Fly
5.2% Spiced Beer
Deep in the reeds of the River Stour, it lies in wait. Patiently. Ready for unsuspecting prey. Once feared by those who fish these waters, was the ferocious bite of the infamous Blandford Fly. Craftier fishermen know of a different Blandford Fly... One with a sweeter side and refreshing notes of ginger (said to soothe the dastardly fly’s bite). And with hints of toffee to offset the spice, we think you’ll agree this unique golden ale is quite the catch.

Absolutely bangin taste and aroma. Sweet without being sickly, with toffee laid over a spicy ginger twist. This is probably not a session ale due to the sweetness but what a winner on a hot day. Toffee colour, good foam. A winner. 🥇

It definitely has a ginger nose. Looks a lot darker than I expected. Oh wow. It's sort of like a creamy sweet ginger beer ale. That's fantastic. Badger, you've done it again.

Interesting taste with notes of toffee and ginger. A nice change to most beers on the market now.
