Gin Pit was a coal mine operating on the Lancashire Coalfield from the 1840s in Tyldesley, Gtr. Manchester. Brewed with Maris Otter pale malt, plus low colour Cara for sweetness and a touch of Munich malt, with Perle hops used for bittering and Motueka and Calypso for aroma.

It’s a saffron coloured ale with a smooth malt balance and floral aroma with a twist; a dry spicy finish from the Juniper berries and other gin botanicals (lemon and orange peel, coriander, liquorice, orris root and angelica root) added to the conditioning tank. This makes for a sweet and fruity beer balanced with the natural acidity of the botanicals.

Cask @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a thick creamy-frothy head. As a gin infused ale it's decent enough if you like the spirit, although its aroma is a little off-putting.

How: Cask.
Where: GBBF 2014.
Appearance: Hazy golden colour with a white head.
Aroma: Malt, bad vegetables, just bad unpleasant.
Body: Light body, low carbonation.
Flavour: Fruit maybe, perhaps some citrus, but overall just bad.
Comment: Either they made something wrong, which I doubt since others would have noticed a miss brew, or this one is just bad.
