Beer 291 - Davenports Englands Glory (3 stars out of 5)

Brewed in the UK by Highgate Brewery, Walsall, England.  Bought at ASDA in Telford and drunk at home in Katy, TX after carrying the beer in our luggage from the UK.

The web site: http://davenportsbeer.co.uk/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=30

The web site is still running, but the brewery web site www.highgatebrewery.com is no longer acccessible.  It appears the brewery went into liquidation in June 2010.

The web site says " Davenports Englands Glory. It’s about as English as St George wearing a bowler hat eating a Sunday Roast whilst on the phone to the Queen in a red phone box under Big Ben listening to the Beatles waiting for Bobby Moore and his pet bulldog who are stuck in traffic at Spaghetti Junction in a Mini.
Englands Glory is a 4.3% copper ale, fit to bursting with malt and citrus notes, with rich fruit coming through on the palate."

I like the beer.  It was flavorfull and full bodied and drank well at room temperature - though this may have been a little warm for the beer.
