50 Best Beers - The Independent - 30 November 2007

The pale bronze beer is complex, from aroma through to finish. The use of Demerara sugar adds a fruitness reminiscent of pear drops and sherbet lemons to the nose, dominated by biscuity malt and hop resins. Tart fruit, juicy malt and bitter hops fill the mouth while the long finish is dry and intensely bitter, with rich malt, lemon fruit and spicy hops. Malt: medium. Fruit: high. Bitterness: high. - Beer of the Month - May 2007 - Roger Protz

Viceroy India Pale Ale 5.0% - Bottle Conditioned Beer
This is the first National Trust brand beer using malt and hops from National Trust sources. The hops are Target and Progress grown in organically at Scotney Castle. The inspiration behind this beer, the Marquis Curzon of Kedleston, was a figure of enormous importance. While Viceroy of India he restored the Taj Mahal. On his return to England he restored Tattershall Castle in 1911 and Bodiam Castle in 1916, both of which he left to the Trust. In his memoirs he wrote about a journey on horseback in India where he dreamt of drinking a beer: "At that moment I would have given a kingdom, not for champagne or hock and soda, or hot coffee but for a glass of beer". This is a true India Pale Ale brewed with lots of hops to produce a golden ale, hoppy and bitter. Suitable for vegans

Viceroy IPA is at the lower end of the abv spectrum at 5%, but its nose still grabs and then caresses with the musky, aromatic air of the hop sack (a common characteristic of Brit-IPAs perhaps). Orange-amber in colour, it also has a wilful orange marmalade nose, which is very reminiscent of said marmalade spread on gently toasted white bread (fresh of course); there’s also the aforementioned hop sack come-hither. On the palate a deep orange Cointreau strike, hints of cherry brandy (and even almond paste), plus some mouth-warming alcohol notes — all toiling together to make my palate as happy as the proverbial Larry. The finish is long and dry with a crisp graininess. The difference from the likes of Goose Island (and Punk IPA) is there, noted and known, it being much more of a soulful beast than its brash transatlantic (or Alba) cousins. A sensuous beer then, though not backward in coming forward, a purring beast that is happy for you to drink lots before it pounces. Excellent. - Adrian Tierney-Jones

Westerham's bottle-conditioned beer has a honey colour with spicy hops, wholemeal biscuits and plum fruit on the nose. Tart and peppery hops, chewy malt and ripe plum fruit fill the mouth while the finish is bitter and spicy. Hops dominate but there's a fine balance of juicy malt sweetness and tangy fruit. Malt: high. Fruit: high. Hops: high. Beer of the Month - November 2009 - Roger Protz
