Description
The Bullfinch Brewery was first set up in the kitchen of former travelling sound engineer, beer enthusiast and home brewer Ryan Mclean.

Ryan's travels have ignited a passion and love for great beer. His continuing commitment to the quality of beer and his enthusiasm have created Bullfinch Brewery and its contemporary take on craft beer here in the UK.

Ryan has been brewing professionally since 2014 and is making progressive beers that blend experimental ideas with traditional brewing methods and techniques.

Hidden away under a railway arch in South East London Ryan can be found brewing his modern ideas on a much loved and used, historic 5 Barrel kit originally built by Charles Wells.

Craft 100 at Craft Clapham. Cask. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly white head. Palate is light and dry and a little crisp. Very thin malts. Light floralness. Good marmalade and sharp lemon hop. Light floralness before the light dry finish. Mellow hop linger. Okay.

Cask at Craft 100 2014. It pours hazy golden with a small white head. The nose is soft, grainy, hay, stone fruit and citrus action. The taste is crisp, bitter, lemon peel, grapefruit, earth, straw, hay and pepper with a dry finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Crisp and easy going but not as tasty as I had hoped for...

Bottle left over from the Pre Borefts Tasting in Den Haag. Poured a clear dark brown with a frothy off white head. The aroma is grassy Citra hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a light nettle grass spice hop palate and a lingering bitter finish. The Citra dominates. No surprise there. A decent black IPA but not a classic.
