Description
We are a 8bbl microbrewery based just outside of Perranporth on the North Cornwall coast. We concentrate on creating small batches of the beers we want to drink using the best ingredients around. We use the best British floor malted barley and our favorite hops from around the world along with Cornish water and our little yeasty helpers to brew tasty beers. We do everything by hand from mashing in to bottling, this means we are able to brew what we want when we want from Imperial I.P.A. to Saisons, it also means we can serve the beers in the most appropriate ways, be that cask, keg or bottles. All our beers are unfiltered and unpasteurized we don't spend time adding flavor to our beers just to filter it out.

Cask at Soup Kitchen - Manchester. Pours clear gold with a thick, lasting white cream head. The nose holds restrained line and rindyborange, along with bready malts. Light sweet flavor with subtle piney bitterness, faintly toasted bread, orange, tangerine, melon. Light bodied with delicate carbonation. Good balance on the finish, with subtle resinous pine, mild bready sweetness, low bitterness, some citrus fruits. Slam-able stuff.

Can from Warwick Real Ale Shop, Warwick, consumed in a field at Fairports Annual Reunion Festival, Cropredy Friday 12th August 2016 Pours gold with a white frothy head blanket of bubbles. Ok this isn’t as good as the Stone Delicious IPA that preceded it, but it’s very good and very drinkable. Fruity and with a dry finish the four hops in here combine really well.

Dark gold/Light amber in colour with a white rim of bubbles. Lovely lemony streakiness, dry finish. Quite a juicy beer. A6 A4 T8 P4 Ov14 3.6

Can shared on the train to Cotts Convention II. It pours clear bright golden with a thick white head. The nose is fresh, juicy, big orange, character, orange chewits, grapefruit, brioche, Irn Bru, tropical fruit punch and Pina Colada. The taste is firmly bitter upfront, grapefruit, orange rind, earthy, pine, straw, touch of alcohol and pepper with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Very nice tropical vibe. Tasty stuff.
