3-5 Heathfield Industrial Estate, Heathfield Street, Elland, HX5 9AE, England
Description
Founded as ‘Eastwood and Sanders Fine Ales’ in 2002, after the amalgamation of The West Yorkshire Brewery and The Barge and Barrel Brewing Company, we renamed as Elland Brewery in 2006 and have been trading under that banner ever since.
We are proud to be a proper, independent, traditional micro-brewery. We’re a small team (currently ten and a half people!) and we’re involved in every aspect of running a busy brewery, we all get our hands dirty helping out in racking, delivering, filling the vans, cleaning, loading the spent grain for our local farmer Dickie to feed his cattle…you’d be surprised at what a normal day involves!

Cask conditioned at NERAX 4/27/2005
Light golden-yellow colored bitter, quite clear, though a slight sheen to it. Moderate white head is fairly well retained. Aroma of herbal, citrusy hops, like orange tea, some notes of fruit. Starts out very hoppy, lemony, with a crisp finish. Light and fruity but not low in flavor. Medium-light body, no wateriness. Citrus lingers.

Dark ale appearance with a very foamy head. The aroma is lightly hopped and stronger than the alcoholic percentage suggests. The flavour has a lightly spiced hopped suggestion. Overall a nice mild, stronger tasting than the ABV.
