Description
All Northern Alchemy beers are entirely natural products. Unfined (no ‘finings’ made from fish swim bladders and therefore suitable for vegans) & unfiltered. This means all of the flavours deliberately chosen for the beers are exactly what the customer should taste. Most of our beers will have a natural haze to them because we don’t subject our beers to these extra processes, in our opinion it’s how beer should be.

Keg at MK's Vauxhall. It pours lightly hazy golden - amber with an off-white cap. The aroma is sweet, sticky, oily, mango, apricot, passion fruit and candied peel. The taste is sweet, juicy, yet very drying, grassy, grainy, floury bread, zesty, tannin and soapy citrus. Medium body and fine carbonation. Decent fresh aroma, but the taste is bit harsh and drying.
