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.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso è indirizzato verso il luppolo. L'olfatto viene stimolato in maniera elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il cappello di schiuma resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è medio-fine. Il liquido è di aspetto velato. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali sono di pronta beva. Il finale è amarognolo. Il retrogusto è intenso. Al gusto vengono donati toni di miele, frutta secca, luppolo, resina, agrumi, arancia amara e limone.

Bottiglia. Il gusto al naso viene attratto dal caramello. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e il modo in cui permane è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore è caratterizzato da una schiuma dalla buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il piano sottostante offre una visione offuscata. Il colore è ambrato. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è pronunciato. La forza gustativa è elevata e permane in maniera sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. L'aroma in bocca porta i segni di caramello, miele, amaretto, frutta secca, un accenno di resinoso e agrumi.

Can at The Crown Rivers, Heathrow. Aroma is floral and fruity hops with peach, citrus, pale malt, and a touch of apricot. Flavour is moderate sweet with a decent bitterness. Body is medium. Pleasant, bit thin, fairly fruity, not bad.

Аромат сразу горький, Английский, много горячи от классического хмеля, даже в запахе, немного карамельки, солод обычный. Цвет бледно коричневый, пенка средняя. На вкус классический битер, много горячи, травянистость, немного намека на карамель, но самую малость. В целом не лучший в стиле, слишком много травянистости.

Аромат неплохой ипашки. Ощущается хмель откуда есть много цитрусов прежде всего, также немного фруктов и трав с горчинкой лесной, но совсем немного. Цвет плотный, хороший, пенка неплохая. Вкус тоже удивляет по хорошему. Приятный и сбалансированный вкус ипа масс маркета. Вкус немного напоминает от Волковской пивоварни. Послевкусие цитрусовое с нотками как будто даже сухо фруктов, немного карамели и конечно горечь от хмеля.

По аромату немного отдает карамелькой и легким шоколадом с травянистым оттенком, немного хмеля как в битере. Цвет полу темный, пенка средняя. Вкус в целом средний, тоже отдает битером только с дополнительными нотками шоколада и зерен кофе. При глотке легкая травянистость от хмеля, горчит немного. А так в целом ничего необычного, скорее всего на один раз, не более.
