Description
Conceived as a ‘nomadic’ project, The Beak has spent several years creating unfiltered, seasonally-inspired beer with friends at some the greatest UK breweries, including North Brew Co, Partizan, Beavertown, Burning Sky and Northern Monk. We've now laid roots in our hometown of Lewes in East Sussex, where we've built a 15-BBL neighbourhood brewery and taproom with a mixed-fermentation project and weekend street food canteen. Please come and say hi!

Bottle. Little Leeds Beer House. Hazy, dark straw colour. Thick, bubbly, bright white head. Nose has fusty malt. Lemon rind. Hint of cottage cheese. It’s not drawing me in. Taste is tart, lemony dry. Thin, acidic mouthfeel. Finishes thin, dry, and acidic. Didn’t get on with this one.

Bottle. Little Leeds Beer House. Hazy, orangey amber. Thin, lasting, bright white head. Aroma is slightly muted sweet, creamy malts. Ripe orange. Some strawberry toffee. Taste is pretty sweet. Some pithy bitterness. Palate is full, and a bit oily. Foamy carbonation. Finishes light bitter, and lip sticking sweet. Not enough juiciness, or bitterness, for me.

330ml bottle shared with Stefan at The Reliance. Pours a clear amber coloured body. Pearl white head with satisfying duration. Spotty lacing down the glassware. Inviting malt-fruity aromas of fresh orange and caramel. Fine blended taste profile of fresh red orange, pine needles, and toffee leading to a smooth bittersweet finish. Well bodied. Refreshing and tasty (Leeds 08.07.2015).

Bottle. Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Murky copper colour. Film, and a bubbly halo of off white head. Figs. Raisins. Juicy fruits. Soft, toffee malts. Taste is dark fruit dry. Some chewy hop. Smooth, nicely rich palate. Soft carbonation that matches well. Finish turns long, fruity, chewy hop bitter. Really drinkable.

Bottle. Hop Hideout, Sheffield. Hazy, orangey amber. Thin, lasting, glossy, off white head. Pretty light aroma of bready sweet malts. Cherry stone. A little citrus. Taste sets off grainy sweet. Turns light dry, then gentle, lasting bitter. Lovely, soft, airy mouthfeel, with perfectly matched carbonation. Finishes yeasty dry, and light, lingering bitter. Not a lot going off, at first, but this is an interesting first brew.
