About
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.

Can from Asda. Deep gold in colour, with a slight, white, head. Sweet and sticky floral hops, spangel fruits, more sugar and a touch of dryness in the finish. Not for me.

Bottle from Asda. Dark brown in colour, with reddish undertones and a frothy, beige, head. Aroma of toasty malts, with some plain chocolate, leafy hops and suggestion of citrus. Flavour had some cocoa beans,more orange and dense malts, before a toasty finish with a Terry's chocolate orange aftertaste. Enjoyable.

Golden beer, filmy head. Fruity lactose smell. Taste is initially a shit of sweet citrusy pineapple but it does mellow into something a little tarter and drier, with the lactose quite distinct.
