Description
Based in County Durham in the industrial North East of England, Caps Off Brewery opened in early 2020. Having opened a bottle shop & micro pub, Ali decided to team up with a life long friend in David and open the brewery. The team at the brewery are looking forward to bring you a wide variety of hop forward beers, big stouts and fruity little numbers. The next few months will see the start of our barrel ageing project and wild fermentation programme.

330ml (intact) can from Caps Off. Golden colour, white foamy head leaving lacing and aroma of malt, hoppy. Taste is sweetish, malty, caramel, toffee with floral citrusy hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable, more an English IPA than an Premium Bitter/ESB.

24/7/2020. Can courtesy of danlo, cheers Ed! BBE 3/21. The can massively bloated top and bottom whilst being cool stored but fortunately spotted it before. First time I’ve had that happen. Carefully opened, sounded relieved to have had the pressure taken out. Poured hazy pale amber with a huge frothy white head. Aroma was tropical, dank, citrus, resin, grass. Medium fruity sweetness, bit stewed, light bitterness. Medium body, slight sticky texture, average carbonation. Increasingly sweet in the finish. Considering how the can had blown, the beer was still fine.

330ml can, drunk watching Wild Rose (Great film!). Thanks Danlo for this. Pours unclear golden yellow, white frothy head. Nice fruity nose. Relatively light bodied with a pleasant fruity hop character, soft haze mouthfeel, gentle tropics, grapefruit, juicy hints, soft bitterness. Good stuff.
