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.

Half-pint in the Old Coal Shed on 14th April 2023 (Keg). Clean golden orange body, white affair on top. More malty than hoppy, aroma is floral with a slight citrus leaning, taste revolves around the malty base but is also citrusy and floral.
