Description
Steel City Brewing is a brewing company with a very new world outlook on life! Rather than buying our own brewery - with all the associated cost and hassle that entails - we have decided, initially at least, to become what's known in Europe as a "Cuckoo" brewery... We started off doing our first brews at The Brew Company, before capacity issues saw us move to Little Ale Cart, where we spent three years proving even the most Heath-Robinson brew kit can be used to make good beer! We then outgrew the kit moved to Toolmakers brewery, before moving again to Lost Industry in 2016.

When we started we were (and still are) huge fans of hops and there just weren't enough brewers in the UK using them, even though that sounds ridiculous in today's beer world. So, rather than moaning into our beer, we thought we'd do something about it and brew some of our own! Over time as the beer scene evolved, there was less need for our style of hoppy beers since everyone was brewing with them so we evolved too and widened our style portfolio.

Bottle split at the 'fuck me it's Kenny; tasting, thanks to Kenneth - Watford, 25/06/21. Murky reddish amber with a decent beige cap. Nose is tarte fruit esters, dusty red berries, wood must, low level funk. Taste comprises dried berry fruits, dusty, earthy, vinous, damp wood. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering climax. Ok.

25th June 2021 Tasting at Fergus gaff. Thanks to me. Slow gusher. Very hazy amber beer, decent pale tan head. Airy palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Fluffy malts, a little cream and caramel. A Flanderish tart fruitiness on the back end. Quite a dry finish. Very rare but not rarely good.

Keg tap at Hops D'Amour, Coventry. Light hazy yellow with a loose white head and lots of lacing. Lemon cream aroma, hard to get past the Lemondrop hops but why would I want to. Taste is bitter, I mean painfully bitter. God wants me dead and wants to watch me die and as I thrash from the bitterness of this beer he touches himself in a very unholy fashion. OK it's not bitter as that but I'm not exaggerating that much. Long chalky bitterness in the finish with more lemon in the aftertaste. Medium carbonation. Pretty impressive.

Can. Beer Central, Sheffield. Pours a clear, dark cola brown. Sits nearly black in the glass with a fine, lasting, beige head. Nose has ashy, roast coffee bean malt. Leather. Dark cherry truffle. Tonka bean. Vanilla pod. Taste has a light vanilla sweetness, turning a little dry, with a cherry like fruitiness throughout. Smooth on the palate, drinking really easy for the ABV. Fine carbonation. Cherry truffle to finish. Nice one.
