Amarillo by Crouch Vale Brewery was named the overall winner of CAMRA’s prestigious Champion Beer of Britain (CBOB) award.
The winner was exclusively revealed at Kelham Hall Beer and Cider Festival trade session today (23 October) in Newark, following a rigorous and hard-fought final round of judging. The long-standing CAMRA award is one of the most coveted and well-respected cask beer competitions in the world, putting the winner firmly in both the national and international spotlight.
Silver prize winner was The IPA (6% ABV) from Anspach & Hobday, which judges described as "A wonderful fruity new world IPA. Aromas of citrus and tropical that are also on the palette where the developing bitterness is perfectly balanced by the bitterness leading to a dry, spicy finish. Morish for a six per cent beer."
Bronze winner Trawlerboys Best Bitter (4.6% ABV) from Green Jack Brewery, was described by judges as being an “Attractive orangey brown beer with a honey biscuit nose. Sweet orange marmalade with nutty notes and slight hint of chocolate. Finish is fruity and sweet, becoming bitter and dry. Complex and very drinkable.”
