Description
Our beer is brewed across two sites. The first is our original brewery at the Old Flax Store, this is where we began our journey in 2014, and is home to our LDS tap room. We expanded into our second much larger brewery, Sydenham Road, in April 2017. Between both sites we can brew up to 18 beers at a time.

The Old Flax Store is a Grade II listed building located in Holbeck, the spiritual heart of the industrial revolution. In 2014 we turned this derelict mill into a brewery, tap room and events space. This building is home to our first brewery, which takes up the ground floor of the building. Our second brewing site is also located in Holbeck, half a mile away at Sydenham Road, where 8 x 100HL conical FVs enable our total capacity at this site to reach 24,000HL.

(Can) Cloudy golden amber colour with frothy, off-white head. Fruity nose with mango, orange marmalade, dried pineapple, pine needles and some sponge cake. Fruity, taste with notes of tropical fruit, mango, pine needles, citrus peel, orange marmalade, dried pineapple, white bread and a generous citric/herbal bitterness in the finish. More than medium body, quite sweet. Oats and wheat give it a soft and smooth mouthfeel. Rich, hoppy and juicy. Very nice.

440ml can. Murky yellow with a white head. Aroma of tangerine, grapefruit, berries. Taste is very citrusy, tangerine, grapefruit, berries, some stone fruit, pine, quite pithy. Medium bodied.

Looks like NM have no clue what hops they used in this. Description mentions the new Luna hop but this isn't on the can label or the inside description. And of course Mosaic and Citra aren't Australian so that doesn't make sense given how they named it.

440ml can while watching Argentina vs England on TV. Pours a tight white head over a hazy pale golden body, spotty lacing. Decent aromas of lemony hops added by a spicy touch. Mixed taste of lemon, orange and herbal hops, lightly spiced. Soft juicy malts to the ending with far-away bitterness. Quite alright (Tromsø, 15.07.2026).
