We are delighted to introduce our maiden beer Prologue which marks the start of our journey into the world of brewing commercially. Prologue is a 3.8% session IPA which is full of our passion and desire to deliver great beer to our City of Chelmsford and beyond. With Prologue you can expect a medium body with a sweetness followed by bitter notes of Grapefruit and Citrus to round it off, and is a beer we think would go down perfectly in the summer sun.

Cask at the Southampton Arms, London on 2nd April 2026. Slightly hazy gold with shallow off-white foam and full lacing. Velvety aroma of fruit and malt. Nutty malts and tangy fruits in-mouth and throughout a harmonious finish. A few soft grasses. Full bodied with a velvet smooth mouthfeel. Very pleasant.

Keg tap at the Ale Stone, Aylestone, Leicester. Light pinkish gold and slightly hazy with a film of white head and some lacing. Gentle citrus aroma, some floral notes. Sweet taste, pink grapefruit and a little bit of tangerine. Light bitterness in the finish. Very watery body with heavy carbonation. Not a lot to it but pleasant enough.

11/7/2020. Can at the NCFC relegation party, bought at Hopsters, Ipswich. Poured slightly hazy pale gold with a small bubbly white head. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruits, grapefruit and grass. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness with a touch of tart. Moderate body, slight oily and watery texture, average carbonation. Decent debut beer.

Session beers are really hard to make. Especially on small scale. This has a lot of grapefruit and mandarin notes and sherbet bon bons; the lemony ones you could buy in a bag in a sweet shop! Lots of resinous hop texture. Sugar dextrines. Well-balanced and super-crushable. Amazing effort considering how young the brewery is! The switch to Flaked Oats worked massively for the mouthfeel! Gorgeous! --- Beer merged from original tick of Prologue on 28 Sep 2019 at 17:42 - Score: 8. Original review text: Really impressive work just needs more Oats a Conan yeast and a late hopping of El Dorado

Can ordered from Hoppily. Lemon and resin aroma - makes me think of a lemon flavoured cough sweet. Hazy amber-gold. Thin creamy white head. Light bitter with a tangy citrus edge. Underlying grains. Dissapointingly develops boiled veg into the finish. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Nice enough.
