Description
Our brewery started life up in Morpeth, Northumberland, back in 2012. One name change later, we settled on being called Anarchy Brew Co. and started brewing our core beers, packed with flavour that we still make today (Blonde Star and Citra Star). After running out of room at the old site, we decided we needed somewhere bigger. And in October we moved to new digs in Newcastle upon Tyne, where you’ll find us today. The new Anarchy brewery opened its doors in October 2018 in Walkergate, with the added bonus of our new taproom.

Keg at The Southern. Hazy amber, thin white head. Sweet lager aromas, sweet strong lager taste. Kinda like a posh Special Brew. Not that impressed to be honest. --- Beer merged from original tick of Imperial Strength Anarchy Lager on 22 Jul 2016 at 05:08 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 7.

Bottle from Good Taste. It pours hazy amber with a thick yellow head. The nose is tinned fruit, fruit syrup, pineapple, hay and brown bread. The taste is bitter, earth, brown bread, pine, resin, light alcohol, caramel, pineapple and grapefruit rind with a bitter finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Good deal of bitterness. A solid IPA.

Bottle 330ml ( AbM) Hazy orange color, small off-white head, lace. Aroma has citrus, watermelon, fruity yeastyness. Light-bodied. Flavor has evident citrus from Citra. A bit messy as beer has quite a lot of yeast. Watery and a bit too simple overall.

Bottle 330ml (AbM)
Golden-copper color, small but steady white head. Aroma has only light maltyness and fruity alcoholic kick. Medium-bodied. Sweet, a bit candy-like. Has apples, strawberry. Lowish bitterness. Light alcohol. Somewhat interesting as not many of these (in craft scene) from England.
