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.

330ml can. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a mostly lasting thin white head. The aroma is malt, lactose, big pineapple. The flavour is moderate sweet, light bitter, with a crisp, creamy, light tart pineapple, mineral, fake sugar, chemical, light floral hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Not the worst beer I’ve tasted. Tastes like a simple base beer with lots of adjuncts though.

330ml can. Pours dark gold with a small head. Aroma is pineapple and sweet creamy vanilla. Taste has sweet pineapple to start. Creamy vanilla and over ripe pineapple. Like a Solero that's been left out in the sun.

Cask-conditioned at the Postern Gate York 24/6/2019. Mahogany in colour, with a frothy, off-white, head. Brown sugar, berry fruits, breach malts and a boozy, moderately bitter finish. Enjoyable.

Bottle. Near black in colour, with a creamy, beige, head. Plain chocolate, liquorice, some tart damson fruit and vanilla, leading to a gentle finish. Enjoyable.

Can from Tesco Inverurie. It pours clear rich golden - amber with a dissipating white head. The aroma is zingy, big lemon sherbet vibes, limoncello, lemon cordial, perfumed, candy and some oiliness. The taste is dry, tart, puckering, oily, lemon sherbet, fruit cordial, zingy, minerals, sour candy and a touch of acidity with a dry, lemon day finish. Lighter end of medium body and fine, foamy carbonation. Oily mouth feel as it warms. Perhaps a bit one dimensional, but better than expected. Drinks well. Not bad.
