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.

Cask at Akurrat, Stockholm. A classic and great British golden ale. Ticked all those wonderful cask golden ale boxes. Grassy end. Yum.

Pineapple Milkshake from Black Sheep Brewery

330ml can: BB 21st Dec 19. Poured into a La Chouffe tulip glass at home on 10th May 19, my third beer in a mini-tasting session with myself as the wife is out at a girls only party. Poured a clear light amber, wispy white head. Lactose like feel (semi-milkshake like) with a Pineapple leaning aroma and taste wise. Different, interesting and for me, enjoyable. My sweet tooth picking up caramel, butterscotch and toffee sweetness within the brew.

Can at home picked up from Tesco. A mid gold coloured pour with a fading off white head. Aroma is harsh lime and lemon, solven, toilet cleaner, cif lemon, soapy. big zesty lime lemon. Flavour is composed of puckering citric acid, lemon juice, hay, lime zest, cif lemon. Harsh and a bit soapy. Palate is sharp mid pucker, highish carbonation, Really not a fan of this.

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from Waitrose. Pours clear copper-gold with a foamy, white head. Moderately sweet with some ripening citrus fruits, melon, nips of vanilla, bready malts, soft piney bitterness. Medium bodied, lightly oily, with fine to average carbonation. Fairly sweet finish, with more creamy vanilla aspect, more melon, tangerine, a hint of grass, orange rind. Not bad overall.

6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle: Golden with an orangey sheen, not completely clear, small & stable off-white foamy layer with a little lace, a blend of English and American hops in the dryish nose, supported by a fruity-malty background; moderate bitter-sweet flavour, not too light bodied; lingering dryish fruity-malty and fruity-bitter finish. A pleasant sip...
