Description
Alpha Delta Brewing was established in September 2019 in Newcastle Upon Tyne by Ross Holland. With over 5 years of brewing experience behind him, Ross decided to create something BIG. In October, Aether and Aion were released as the first two big seasonal beers to kick Alpha Delta off. Now he plans to release even more incredible big beers. Very exciting times.

Can from Beer52. Pours a clear gold with small white head. Fruit salad aroma with hint of peppermint. Taste wise its well below Alpha Delta's normal standard. It has a light stewed fruit salad and a reasonable floral bitterness. Mid bodied, low carbonation. Pleasant enough but they clearly struggled with a recipe to meet Beer52s price point.

Tap at Sommar, Waterloo St, Birmingham. This one was very nice with chocolate, brown sugar, liquorice, and hoppy bitterness in the finish. It was just a touch too sweet and treacle like which is the only thing stopping me giving it a 4+ but still a very good moreish beer.

Can shared at the CBJ tasting, thanks to Kenneth, 12/06/24. Black with a tan head. Nose is roast malts, chocolate, charr, dried fruit esters. Taste comprises chocolate, light spice, vanilla, toffee fudge, dark malts, spice. Medium plus bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Middle of the road impy ... okay gentle sipper but lacking depth.

440ml can. Hazy orange, moderate sized white foamy head, nice retention. Aroma has tropical and earthy notes, pineapple, mango, greenery, pine. Taste is tropical, floral, white wine, vegetation. Tangy and bitter finish offset part by mellow malts and a sweetness. Medium body, quite smooth with a soft cabonation. Good.

Can shared at CBJ - Bermondsey. Cheers to Kenny. Pours clear, deep brown with a small, creamy tan head. Medium sweet flavour with a little cocoa powder, dried berries, toasted malts, earth, mild roast. Medium to full bodied with average carbonation toon. Finishes with more powdery chocolate, some roast, leathery berries. So so.
