Windsor & Eton Knight of the Garter Golden Ale

This golden ale shines with a straw-like colour - simple and inviting. It smells like fresh grapefruit, sharp and zesty. That grapefruit bite cuts through when you first taste it, followed by a bit of a sherbet fizz that's fun and unexpected. The hops play nicely together - a bit of American citrus, a touch of that English earthiness. And with its lighter ABV, this is one you can reach for any day of the week, no matter the season.

The Royal Borough regained its brewery back on St George's Day 2010, when four friends set up Windsor & Eton Brewery and revived a tradition that the town hadn't seen since 1931. Now well into their second decade, they've grown into one of the Thames Valley's well established indie names, with a busy taproom and a range that spans from Czech style Pilsners, American IPAs and the occasional special. But English classic styles sit at their heart. And being based in the shadow of the castle, the royal connections are never far away either, and in 2018 they earned a royal warrant to prove it.
