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 @ Herøya. Hazy yellow golden body under a dense white head. Strong fruity aroma of citric and tropical fruits with some fresh gras. Taste has super smooth, soft malt, sweet citric fruits, some tropical fruits, tangerine, medium bitterness and well hidden alcohol. Fine body with long lasting fruity aftertaste. This was a nice NEIPA.

440 ml can, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 8.4%. Pitch black colour, with a moderate creamy brown head, that does not last very long. Aroma of tiramisu dessert - they ain't lyin'. Espresso coffee and cocoa / chocolate dominates, also notes of vanilla and coconut. The flavour has the same elements, but is fortunately not too sweet. A certain prune-like fruitiness helps the drinkability. Low bitterness.

It’s a very standard hazy. Moderately sweet, limited bitterness. Some vaguely tropical fruit vibes. Tangerine. Peach. A little pale bread and pine needles. A little green. To be fair, it drinks well. But there’s really nothing distinctive about this.
