Description
In 1858 Timothy Taylor began brewing beer in Cook Lane in the West Riding town of Keighley. He clearly struck upon a successful formula for in 1863 he set up and built a larger brewery at Knowle Spring, where the company has remained ever since.

The superb spring water that wells up from deep under the Pennines is still used today to produce the country's best traditional cask ales.

The brewery remains in the Taylor family and is now the last independent brewery of its type left in West Yorkshire. This independence enables Taylors to survive as one of the few brewers still brewing true cask ales in the same way it has always done."Taylor's Taste" is achieved by using only the finest natural ingredients, taking pride in the brewing process and allowing full time for the ales to ferment and mature, thereby creating a unique family of beers.

We have come a long way since 1858. Our beers have won many awards and worldwide acclaim. This is seen within our product range.

First of all : note that this is a Light Mild – a style not recognised by Rate Beer. Anyway, cask at Brunswick, Derby. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly malts with some hints of corn. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy with malts, grains and biscuits. Later on there are hints of ginger, fudge and hops, leading to ba sweet finish. This is nice – not overly exciting but very drinkable.

Clear, deep gold with a frothy white head and a soft malty aroma with a touch of fruit. Has a little kick of bitterness up front, then it's smooth and light fruit malt ahead of a dry, bitter finish
