NETTLE BEER - HIGH HOUSE FARM BREWERY
My fifth and final beer from High House Farm Brewery of Matfen, Northumberland and so far they have not disappointed. Saving the best till last? Erm,,, its brewed from stinging nettles??!! That's why I saved it till last. Oh well in for a penny... Doesn't smell like its gonna kill you, and it pours a very lovely golden colour with a foamy white head. Its surprisingly okay, not sure I'd want 2 in a row but its certainly different. Kind of a honey/mead sort of tang to it, seems a bit numbing/astringent too. Hope I'm not dying! Its been made here since 2006 to a 14th Century recipe and is supposed to cure gout and the common cold! 4.5% volume.
