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.

Bottle shared in W2 - thanks to Paul. Pours hazy golden yellow with a big, lasting white cream head. Lemony notes on the nose, some bile, butyric acid, light herbs. Light sweet flavor with moderate acidity, some sweat, light puke, lemon, tangy wheat. Light bodied with spritzy carbonation. Tart and lemony on the finish, light lactic bite, lemon Smarties. Dry. Good cleansing acidity. Not bad overall.

Keg at the hanging bat. Pours black, nose is soapy, floral, tomato, lemon, taste is more of the same, funky. Pretty weird but it works.

3.2 Keg at the Hanging Bat. Pours near black with a thin beige head. Strong lavender aroma, nearly minty. Taste is lavender, light sweet chocolate malt. Clean floral, light sour finish. Was dubious at first, but this is good.

Bottle. Nose is orange madmalade, caramel, chocolate, crazy nose. Not so sure I get tea. Cloudy brown-orange with a low, lacy head. Flavor is rather harsh citrus, caramel, tea. Over the top with the orange oil. Very bitter and somewhat unpleasant.
