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.

Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours a murky dull orange-brown with minimal almost white head and good lacing. The aroma has floral hops and yeast with hints of tropical fruit. In the mouth it is somewhere between sweet, sharp and bitter. Floral hops again plus mango and traces of grapefruit, melon and kiwi leading to a slightly bitter finish. Not my sort of beer by a long stretch, but it’s reasonable.

30/12/2023. Can shared at CLBF. From Mean Eyed Cat, Newcastle. Pours clear pale golden with a small frothy white head. Aroma picks up on the tomato and basil quite nicely. Malty, citrus, gooseberry notes. Moderate sweetness, light sourness. Moderate body, good amount of fizz. Liked this.
