Description
Since our inception on a commercial scale in 2008 we have evolved as a brewery immeasurably.
The Brewery has moved up several gears in the past 12 months & is now growing at an alarming rate!

We as a team have grown with the brewery. Started in 2008 with Directors James Farran, Andy Baker & Meyrick Kirk the brewery now has a fulltime drayman, a head brewer, a managing director & soon to be further additions to the team.

We are a brewery with an extreme passion & a strong identity, our beers are unapologetically flavour forward in nature, hop & malt laden beers that challenge today's modern beer lover. Beers with heart, soul & raging personality.

In the coming years we plan to continue to grow by fervently pushing the boundaries of what is possible when brewing beer, to excite you the deserving beer connoisseur who should settle for nothing less than than beers that excite & ensare your senses. We invest heavily in our beers with LOTS of the very best ingredients, why settle for beers that don't?

440ml can. Hazy golden orange with a white head. Aroma is citrusy, some tropical, also a bit vegetal possibly stale hops. Taste is much better though, zesty citrus fruits galore, pithy bitterness, tropical fruits, light resin and biscuity malt. Medium bodied, smooth mouthfeel, average carb. Bit of an odd one this, has potential...

Hazy yellow beer, thick white head, lots of sediment. Smell of grassy citrus, yeasty and bready too. Taste is dry, bitter and grassy. Just a touch of the sweet, bready flavour you get from a some Belgian beers. Slightly spiced / herby, dry finish. The slightly harsh finish means it's very much one to take your time with, as does the strength. It's pretty good.
