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 BD Sheps, 02/11/15. Hazed orange amber topped with a decent off white swirl. Nose is figgy jam, orange, spice, vanilla essence, caramel, sweet notes. Taste comprises vanilla, icing sugar, straw, sweet malt, floral, faint citric notes. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. So so, Ok for style but a little overly sweet and directionless.

Brewdog Shepherds Bush. Keg. Hazy gold beer, small white head. Palate is smooth with decent fine carbonation. Light vanilla in to mild floralness, trace of rambutan tang if you are looking for it. Mild pear and a very light touch of apple. Light finish. Bonkers but interesting and drinkable.
