I have always had a lot of time for the so called<br \/>\n\u201cbudget\u201d supermarkets, not just the \u201cnew kids on the block\u201d,<br \/>\nbut also those longer established names which are now linchpins of<br \/>\nBritain&#8217;s retail market, but my thoughts on the cheaper range home<br \/>\nbrand beers have, sometimes, not been so enthusiastic. Usually of<br \/>\ninferior strength and taste, until late, these products have not been<br \/>\nfor the discerning drinker. Fortunately, things have slowly improved,<br \/>\nand, since the arrival of both <b>Lidl,<\/b> and <b>Aldi<\/b>, on the High<br \/>\nStreet, the competition has become very interesting. In June 2015,<br \/>\n<b>Lidl<\/b> announced that they would be increasing their Regional Craft<br \/>\nbeer range across the UK, and adding to the \u201c<b>Hatherwood<\/b>\u201d<br \/>\nrange of beers. Over their time trading in my neck of the woods, I<br \/>\nhave been quite a regular shopper in<b> Lidl,<\/b> drawn by the value for<br \/>\nmoney, and have quaffed quite a few of their seasonal beery<br \/>\nofferings, usually from the <b>Shepherd Neame<\/b> range. Most are<br \/>\nquite enjoyable, and all sensibly priced.<\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"tr-caption-container\" style=\"float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjUxU0pMWYRhGPX4fQR8h8o7NmJl8s6P7kBC9ZZqMbzU6-QerOtGk-3CESHp5tN0DpdNQUvY8mymHRL1pSFQcG_rK2QArrZaLRVHiv0XR5CgjL-5maTmVGI7k1djXOfdC_zllfqDggq7_M\/s1600\/20160104_115655.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEjUxU0pMWYRhGPX4fQR8h8o7NmJl8s6P7kBC9ZZqMbzU6-QerOtGk-3CESHp5tN0DpdNQUvY8mymHRL1pSFQcG_rK2QArrZaLRVHiv0XR5CgjL-5maTmVGI7k1djXOfdC_zllfqDggq7_M\/s200\/20160104_115655.jpg\" width=\"112\"\/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td class=\"tr-caption\" style=\"text-align: center;\">The full selection of <br \/>Hatherwood Craft Beers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>With the introduction of<br \/>\nthe new <b>Hatherwood<\/b> beers, I decided to stock up with a few.<br \/>\nThe range, now numbered 1-6, with a lager and Winter Warmer on top,<br \/>\nincludes most styles of beer popular at the moment, with varying<br \/>\nstrengths, and priced at 90p, \u00a31-25 and \u00a31-49, to reflect the<br \/>\ndifference in ABV. The bottle labels are all similar in design, with<br \/>\na slightly rural craft look to them. Simplistic, but not<br \/>\nuninformative. No glitter, just the basics of ingredients, ABV, Head<br \/>\nBrewer and the necessary product information. To say this doesn&#8217;t<br \/>\nmean they become lost on the shelf, amongst all those glossy pictures<br \/>\nof skulls, buxom wenches or fat friars with flagons in hand, which<br \/>\nbedeck so many cans and bottles in many beer aisles, no, quite the<br \/>\nopposite. They sit there, quietly, waiting to be assessed, or, maybe,<br \/>\ndiscovered. My voyage of discovery had now begun, I will now give my impressions on this selection of<br \/>\nbeers.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>No 1. Golden Goose<\/b>. <b>Golden Ale<\/b>. 3.8% <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\">Just 90p secures a 500ml bottle of this beer, which is<br \/>\nbrewed for <b>Hatherwood<\/b> by Jeff Drew, Head Brewer for <b>Wychwood.<\/b><br \/>\nThe taste is quite rounded, with hints of fruit and caramel, and the<br \/>\nfinish is reasonably dry, with a nice bitterness.Pleasant and unassuming, I found. It is more than<br \/>\nadequate as a session beer. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>No 2. The Green Gecko<\/b>.<b> IPA<\/b> 5%<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\">Simon Yates, from <b>Banks&#8217;<\/b> is named as Head Brewer<br \/>\nfor this punchy IPA. It is, initially, quite bitter, with big citrus<br \/>\nnotes. These lead the way a refreshing, zesty taste on the palate,<br \/>\nwith grapefruit and a hint of pine resin also evident. The finish<br \/>\nisn&#8217;t long, but very satisfying, with a dryness and bitterness that<br \/>\nmake it very moreish.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>No 3 The Amber Adder<\/b>. <b>Amber Ale<\/b> 4.3%<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\">I found this one quite similar to <b>The Green Gecko,<\/b><br \/>\nbut the sweetness of the malt comes through stronger at the beginning, before<br \/>\nthe zesty bitterness takes control. There are floral hints in the<br \/>\nfinish, which is quite dry, spicy, bitter and reasonably long. I<br \/>\nwould say this would be a great session beer, especially for the<br \/>\ncoming warmer months. The Head Brewer on this beer was<br \/>\n<b>Marston&#8217;s\/Banks<\/b> Tom Spencer.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>No 4 The Ruby Rooster.<\/b> <b>Bitter<\/b> 3.8%<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\">This is quite a solid tasting beer. Malt and caramel<br \/>\nabound in the opening taste, which leads to a slight nuttiness<br \/>\ntowards the end. The finish is reasonably dry, and pleasantly<br \/>\nbitter-sweet. Overall, although not a classic beer that is full of<br \/>\ncomplexity, this is a good value for money bitter. At 90p a bottle,<br \/>\nyou would certainly struggle to find a brew as reliable as this<br \/>\nelsewhere, unless on a special offer. It is another from the <b>Wychwood<\/b><br \/>\n(Jeff Drew) stable.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>No 5 Purple Panther Porter<\/b>. 5%<\/span><\/p>\n<div align=\"LEFT\" class=\"western\" style=\"margin-bottom: 0cm;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiV0HL-RZI_aZJCkroJ1qYV1sX2D3Ai3oHzD75PfDWn-4KpcB5hetp3b3QrD_4aJqA7oexOUtt7hz9gjKcQf9vp-8k9pblNtabAH4N0RQOXeJ2FkDjnPJ7_O1hwixBJqPvgfQ3Iu1LDJs8\/s1600\/20151226_134803.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEiV0HL-RZI_aZJCkroJ1qYV1sX2D3Ai3oHzD75PfDWn-4KpcB5hetp3b3QrD_4aJqA7oexOUtt7hz9gjKcQf9vp-8k9pblNtabAH4N0RQOXeJ2FkDjnPJ7_O1hwixBJqPvgfQ3Iu1LDJs8\/s200\/20151226_134803.jpg\" width=\"112\"\/><\/a><span style=\"font-size: small;\">The <b>Jennings<\/b> Brewery&#8217;s Head Brewer, Jeremy<br \/>\nPettman adds his name to the label of this dark beer. There are<br \/>\nlovely burnt malt flavours in the opening gambit of this Porter, with<br \/>\na hint of dark chocolate and coffee. Plum and dark fruits lurk in the<br \/>\nbackground, and the finish is quite long, with a nice dryness on the<br \/>\npalate, following a reasonable bitter-sweetness. It isn&#8217;t a thick,<br \/>\nresinous Porter, in fact, I found it a touch thin, but that is not to<br \/>\nsay it isn&#8217;t a good beer of this style. A very pleasing and<br \/>\nsatisfying brew.<\/span><\/div>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>No 6 Ginger Grizzly Alcoholic Ginger Beer.<\/b> 4%<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\">I have never really gone for these \u201cfad\u201d drinks.<br \/>\nFruit of every type seem to be the in thing in the Cider brewing<br \/>\nsector at the moment. (What&#8217;s wrong with just using apples ?!!), and<br \/>\nall those pop flavoured drinks seem to be everywhere. So, seeing this<br \/>\non the shelf did intrigue me. Should I try it or not? Well, I did,<br \/>\nand I&#8217;m glad I did. The pour is quite lively, with the heady aroma of<br \/>\nginger and spice not shy of introducing itself. it is slightly cloudy<br \/>\nin the glass, with the head disappearing almost instantly. The<br \/>\ninitial taste is quite sweet, but not overly so, but this is soon<br \/>\nsurpassed with that wonderful fiery heat from the ginger, with citrus<br \/>\nnotes also coming through. WOW! If you like Old Jamaican Ginger Beer,<br \/>\nyou will love this. The heat lasts on the palate quite a while. A<br \/>\ngreat change from the norm. This is also from the <b>Marstons<\/b><br \/>\nBrewery, being created by Jake Johnson.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>Gnarly Fox New Wave Lager<\/b>.4.5%<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\">I am not a big lager fan. Well, British styled and<br \/>\nbrewed lagers, more accurately. On opening this bottle, I wasn&#8217;t<br \/>\nexpecting much. There was the usual grassy aroma, an effervescence as<br \/>\nit slid out into the glass, and then to the taste. Hmm, a bit more<br \/>\nsweet maltiness than I expected, but with a reasonable bitterness.<br \/>\nBiscuit and Caramel are evident, with the hopped finish being not too<br \/>\nheavy, and overall, a well balanced beer. I found it very<br \/>\n\u201ccontinental\u201d, in fact. I certainly wouldn&#8217;t refuse another, even<br \/>\nif it isn&#8217;t my favourite style<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>The Winter Warmer Spiced Dark Beer.<\/b> 5.5%<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\">This <b>Hatherwood<\/b> beer is brewed in conjunction with Kevin<br \/>\nLove of <b>Hogs Back Brewery.<\/b> This is quite sweet at the outset,<br \/>\nbut the lovely warming mulled spices,(cinnamon, nutmeg and a hint of<br \/>\nstar anise were detected,) soon kick in, with some dark chocolate also<br \/>\nlurking. There is also a fruitiness in the taste. The sweetness<br \/>\nextends all the way through to the finish, which is quite long, and<br \/>\npleasant. This Porter-style beer is certainly not a session ale, as<br \/>\nthe 330 ml bottle testifies, and is rather complex, but sipped by the<br \/>\nfire, on a cold Winter&#8217;s eve, it comes into it&#8217;s own. Where&#8217;s my<br \/>\nslippers? <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\">Well, that&#8217;s my review of the <b>Hatherwood Craft Beer<br \/>\nRange<\/b> from <b>Lidl<\/b>. Alright, they are brewed by major<br \/>\nbreweries, (under the <b>Marstons<\/b> canopy for the main, and also<br \/>\n<b>Hog&#8217;s Back)<\/b> There is no <b>Hatherwood Brewery<\/b>, nestled<br \/>\ndown a country lane and distributing its wares by horse and cart, or<br \/>\nsteam engine, and, to be fair, the company doesn&#8217;t try to mislead you<br \/>\nof this, but one thing is a certainty,  I can honestly say, I was not<br \/>\ndisappointed in any of the brews. There are better, stronger and more<br \/>\nexpensive beers out there, but as far as quality beers at very<br \/>\naffordable prices go, you may have to look long and hard. You dont<br \/>\nhave to pick 4 bottles to get them at a certain discounted price,<br \/>\nwhich is handy if you just fancy a bottle or two at a time. Don&#8217;t<br \/>\nforget, alongside these beers, you will also find a great range of<br \/>\nregional beers and ciders too, and those monthly specials. Don&#8217;t just<br \/>\ntake my word for it, give them a go yourselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<span style=\"font-size: small;\"><b>Cheers and keep it \u201cReal\u201d<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With the Festive season now, quickly, ebbing in to the background, now nothing more than a pile of \u00a0wrapping paper, bottles and cans for the recycling bins to secure until bin day, not to mention those pine needles, tinsel strands and bits of broken bauble stuffing up the vacuum cleaner, I thought it would be [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":190658,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[137],"tags":[12859,74396,12793,4995,67850,556,40363],"dealstore":[],"offerexpiration":[],"class_list":["post-190657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-beer","tag-beers","tag-bodged","tag-brews","tag-budget","tag-lidl","tag-light","tag-refreshment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A &quot;Lidl&quot; light refreshment.
