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!

Can at home in Hackney - picked up from All Good Beer. Pours clear yellow-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Nice biscuity lager, moderately sweet, has a little crispy grain to it, some white grape. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation. Subtle grassy bitterness to finish, doughy biscuits, pale grains. Enjoyable lager.

Can from House Of Trembling Madness. Hazy golden body with a thick white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of melon rind and pineapple. Flavour of passionfruit, crushed paracetamol and grass. Medium body with a creamy texture. Soft fizz. An excellent, easy drinking beer. Big mouthfeel for 4.5% ABV. I’ve been really impressed with the beers I’ve had from this brewery.

Can from Ebenezers, Nantwich. An aroma mainly of hops, but with fruity undertones and rye and pine thrown in for good measure. Pours a golden orange with a small off-white head and good lacing. Pine to the fore in the mouth, together with hoppy bitterness. Fruits are then underneath as well – tangerine, grapefruit and hints of pepper. Finish is very dry and bitter. They call this a West Coast IPA, I’m not sure why. More of a traditional style IPA to me. Very nice, but not sor session drinking !

Can. Turner’s, Sheffield, I think. Pale orange gold. Fully opaque. Thin and bubbly, glossy, bright white head. Nose has sweet peach. Ripe strawberry. Apricot. Creamy malt. Taste is a little sweet, with a soft, estery, light pine bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel. Fine carbonation. Bitterness rises and lingers on the finish.

Aroma: pretty dank, fruity, some onions, bit cheesy, more dank hops, bit resinous. MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: little sweet, very fruity, oranges, orange peel, citrus notes, tropical fruits, soft bitterness, some papaya, earthy. Aftertaste: pretty bitter, bit resinous, dry, citrus, some grapefruit, tropical fruits, lovely stuff, like it a lot!

Can. Light haze on this gold beer (Hazy dipa? If this, they all are FFS!), small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Light malts, a light but pleasing creamy sweetness. Light but bright pine. Juicy citrus, light bright orange, a little hop spice. Touch of tropical fruits. Smooth finish. Pretty drinkable, well integrated and balanced and bright.
