Description
XT Brewing Co is an innovative, independent brewery crafting a wide range of exceptional beers. Our XT beers form the core range of characterful, full flavoured brews and our wild side, Animal Brewing Co, pushes the boundaries with new and exciting one-off specials. The options are as infinite as the natural world.
We designed and installed our 18 barrel brewery during 2011 and brewed the first full scale gyle in November 2011. The equipment was custom built for us in Burton upon Trent.
The brewery is on the beautiful Notley Farm estate on the Oxfordshire Buckinghamshire borders, with far reaching views over the Chiltern hills. We are as eco-friendly and sustainable as possible; recycling nearly all our waste products and our spent raw materials go to local farmers to feed their cattle and pigs.

Handpull cask at the Bull Baiters, Worcester. Dark gold, clear with a spotty white head and spotty lacing. Light aroma, some jammy and grassy notes, not getting much of the promised Nelson Sauvin characters. Sweet taste, some citrus/tropical hop alongside marmalade and a suggestion of caramel. Full, flat body. I have trouble with this one, it's more of a golden bitter than an Antipodean pale ale, but it's okay.

Nose is earthy roasted tones, dark malts, light charr, cocoa powder. Taste comprises dark fruit rinds, oaked effect, toffee, baking powder, brown bread, earthy. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, drying close. Solid enough brown ... worked better in the wood than the bitter.
