The first beer to be featured on BeerTastingEvents is St Peter's Organic Ale made by the St Peter's brewery from Suffolk in the UK. The brewery claims all its ales are 'real ales'. I can't disagree after my first tipple. It leaves a traditional ales flavour in your mouth for at least one minute after consumption. This is a good sign. St Peter's Organic Ale is a clean, crisp, lightly carbonated traditional English ale with a full 'citrus hop' aftertaste. The alcohol content is a quite common 4.5 %. As an organic ale it certainly tastes wholesome and quelches your thirst.
St Peter's Brewery produces two award-winning organic ales - Organic Best Bitter (4.1% abv) and Organic Ale (4.5% abv). The two beers are made using Soil Association accredited malted barley and organically-grown hops.
Organic Ale won the Soil Asociation's top award in 2002. Packed in cases of 12's, the beers are packed in St Peter's unique, beautiful oval bottles.
St. Peter’s Brewery, based on the Norfolk / Suffolk borders near Bungay, was recognised by a Queen’s Award for Enterprise in the International Trade category in the 2006. This was primarily due to its success in exporting to international markets. BeerTastingEvents rates this beer very strongly with a 8.5/10.
