Draught 5.5% abv 500ml Bottle 6.5% abv The Bishop's Tipple has been a legend amongst ale drinkers ever since it was originally brewed to commemorate George Reindorp's appointment as Bishop of Salisbury. . "This blessed beer at 5.5% ABC will be my undoing....It's so damnably refreshing, a temptress with it's pale, golden hue and soft after palate from those tantalising Saaz and Styrian Goldings hops giving the beer that divine drinkability. I crave for the indulgence to once again let that clean, golden liquid pass my lips... though I fear I will forsake this beguiling tipple of mine all too soon." The Bishop's Tipple is brewed from 94% low colour malt from Optic barley and 6% cane sugar. Bitterness units of 38-42 are obtained from substantial quantities of Saaz and Styrian Goldings hops. One third of these are reserved for the hopback plates for enhanced flavour and aroma. Colour rating is 16.
