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.

Cask at the White Lion - Norwich. Pours clear gold with a creamy white head. Citrusy hops in the aroma with floral undertones. Light to medium sweet flavor with sugary white bread, bitter hay, more floral notes, lemon meringue. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Decent balance on the finish, more citrusy hops, white bread, lemon, tangerine, straw. A nicely drinkable golden ale.

Cask half pint at the Queens Vaults, Cardiff. Copper colour, small head, slightly off-white. Malty aroma and flavour, hints of English malt vinegar. Very moderate hops. Nothing special going on here.

Cask at the 7 Stars, Rugby, 04/06/14. Very lightly hazed golden with reddish hues topped with a good sized creamy head that retains wellm good lacing ensues. Nose is orchard fruit, red berries, light biscuit. Taste comprises much the same, little bread dough, straw. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, smooth feel on the palate. So so affair, really not a lot too it, looks and feels good, if I hadn’t seen it served I’d have been forgiven for thinking it was a smoothflow keg offering!
