Strike Thirst. A cyclone of flavour and aromatics tamed by expert brewers in three stages of hopping at our independent brewery in Yorkshire.
Cascade and Whitbread Goldings in the copper, Cascade and Chinook at the hop back stage, then dry hopping with Jester and Ernest.
All combining with natural Knowle Spring water, fine barley malts and our unique Taylor’s Taste yeast to create the tropical storm of flavour and aroma.

Tap Out 3 Times Beer#3. Visiting three new Taps today and Tim Taylor's flagship is first, and have chosen their one keg ale available there. A lightly carbonated crisp hopped effort in its own glass. There's lovely tropical undertones, and on the hot day drinking I'm partaking it on, is perfect for it.

Can. Clear gold with foamy white head. Aroma and flavour has some orange, golden syrup, flora and pale malt. Nice smooth mouthfeel and crispness to this, decent bitterness. This is hoppy by Timothy Taylor standards but I get the derision and the decision to classify this as a golden ale. This is not modern craft brewing. Having said that they've attempted to showcase UK hops and its very balanced and fruity with a nice finish.

440ml can from Morrisons. Clear amber orange, white head. Can says this will unleash a tropical cyclone of refreshment. Strong words Timothy. Beer doesn't quite meet expectation. Trad-style craft ale feel Orangey moments, sticky hints, strong bitterness. But lacks punch 👊

Keg @ Pikkulintu Ruttopuisto, Helsinki. Poured clear and golden in color, thin head. Served very cold, so the flavots bit shy, but getting some floral and citrusy hops. Light but pleasant bitterness. Session stuff.

Short foamed white head on a highly carbonated unclear golden coloured body. Grain & newspaper aroma. Medium bodied, smooth with a cloying back. Malt, butterscotch, peach & biscuit tastes. Lacking in all parts.
