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.

330ml bottle. Poured a clear copper colour with a short-lived fizzy white head. The aroma is caramel malt, toffee, light resin, light woody citrus hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a smooth, malt, light fruity, light dry floral hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Not a full blown IPA and not a bitter either. Not so bad and moderately sessionable.

Bottle. Nose is milk chocolate, Easter eggs, slight vanilla, lactose. Taste is milk chocolate, coffee, tobacco, berry and plums, and slightly earthy in the ashy, slightly floral finish. A bit thin, but nice enough, though milk chocolate isn't really my thing.

Cask at Guildford Arms. Copper color with white foam. Aroma is citrus, a bit leathery, quite funky even. Taste is citrus, grassy, toffee, all the usual Cask Ale flavours, but in such a great balance. Slick oily mouthfeel. The best Cask Ale I've had in my life so far, the fruit comes together with the light malt character so well!
