Description
Established in 2005 and bottling since 2008. Headed by Phil and brewed by Rob, we’re a small team brewing a wide range of beers in cask, keg, bottle and can. Along with a core offering we also have seasonal brews and a one off brew range called ‘New Tricks’. Experimental recipes are run through our small batch kit before trying them out on the main kit and releasing them to the masses. Some of these have proved so popular that they’ve graduated to our core range.

Hazy pale golden color with a white layer on top. Moderate intensity in the aroma. Medium body and a soft carbonation level. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Fruity, citric and malty flavor. Could have been quite good with a better carbonation level and a bit more chilled.

On cask at the Shoulder of Mutton, Bradwell. Appearance - hazy golden with a decent head. Nose - light orange, mineral and pale malt. Taste - orange and pale malt. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Slightly astringent but ok. Overall - solid but unexciting.
