Description
In 1992, Paul Theakston took a daring leap into the unknown. As a fifth generation brewer of his family company, he chose to leave T&R Theakstons following its sale to a national brewery. Instead, he chose to champion independent brewing in Yorkshire and built his own brewery in the very same town, Masham. The brewhouse contains a mixture of tradition and innovation, using the Yorkshire Square Fermentation system which we hold dearly. Our original brewhouse was built from reclaimed equipment which we still use to this day.

Bottle: A light golden pour with a very thin sandy head. A dry, floral, and earthy aroma. Tastes sweet with light apple notes and a lager maltiness. Moves into an earthy and floral based tail. Sort of bland.

(bottle) Hazy, golden to amber colour with a medium-sized, off-white foamy head. Slightly sweet and yeasty cara-malt aroma with a slightly sweaty and fruity (overripe citrus) hoppy touch. Light-bitter flavour, slim bodied with a low carbonation. Moderately dry malt character, slightly chalky taste with delicate bitter and fruity hops, leading into a fairly dry and short finish. Disappointing or is it the great name that bears its burden (16.III.09).

12 ounce bottle from somewhere. I assure you it came from somewhere. Pours a clear copper color with a medium head. Odd aroma of caramel, subtle grain and something that reminds me of wet cat. Taste is sweet candied citrus, grain and caramel.

50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a small off-white head. Mild yeasty and delicate fruity hops note in the aroma. Mild fruity initial flavoured with a subdued sweetness quickly turning into a more grassy and bitter hops flavour with a light citrusy note. Bitter, citrusy, light grassy and dry finish.
