Description
Brewing bold beers from our hilltop in Hebden Bridge and pouring punchy pints from our very own taprooms. We’re resolutely in the business of setting standards, not following trends.
slightly hazy yellow,very smooth light yellow head.
really nice citrus fruity aroma with just enough malts and herbal hops to keep it interested. aroma is as smooth as the head.. velvety.
flavor is citrus fruity, citrussy, hoppy herbal, malty but not sweet malty, end is nearly void of hoppy bitterness but has some malty bitterness. full bodied but also not quenching, not dry.

Can from Tesco, Reading. Sweet mango, peach and elderflower up front. A surprising amount of bread and wheat chaff, then lime in the bittersweet finish. It's ok.

Can. Pours a jet black colour with a tight beige head, plenty of malt and chocolate in the aroma, the taste is medium bitterness and a touch watery with plenty of chocolate, with a dry bitter finish.

(Cask at Akkurat, Stockholm, 5 Dec 2025) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, hoppy nose with peaches, pears, grass and citrus. Fruity, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, peaches, grass, white bread and a mild grassy/citric bitterness. Fresh, hoppy and quite drinkable. Nice one.

Pint of draft in Letchworth. A typical craft beer, astringent hops and not the best mouthfeel. I've had better, but the venue wasn't great so that may explain things.

Hazy yellow creamy huge light yellow head.
aroma is citrussy, wheaty, herbal, yeasty, not unlike a belgian wheat ale, but not citrussy as the typical witbier also no banana as the typical german hefeweizen, more like belgian fruited wheat beer.
flavor is distinctively belgian yeasty with some fresh fruitiness going on, quite refreshing, comes off as dry, crisp and light, with yeasty and herbal bitterness. easy drikning flavorful slightly fruity wheat.
