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.

Cask pint on 9th April 2017: Woolly Sheep, Skipton. As the name suggests, light golden blonde in colour, clean and clear, the head an fluffy white affair. Citrus fruits rule both the nose and taste, lemons and grapefruit on the tart side and oranges giving the sweeter notes. Not really my thing, but any new TT beer has to be tried.

Bottle, 0.5l. Clear copper pour with almost three finger soapy white head. Average head retention, ok lacing. Strong yeast character on the nose, slightly grainy, somewhat sweet. Nice herbal touch. Medium body, soft to average carbonation. Creamy on the tongue. Taste strikes a bit sweet at first, developing into pleasant bitter aftertaste. Aroma mostly herbal and flowery. There is this interesting tobacco-like presence... Hm. Caramel and earthy hops. Touch of wood. Quite flavourful for the low ABV. Clean, crisp, tasty. Regular finish, moderately bitter, slightly peppery and a bit dry. Overall, good brew.
