3 Benson View Works, Shap Road Industrial Estate, Kendal, LA9 6NZ, England
Description
The brewery started life in a 30 litre stock pot on a South London stove top, and since then we’ve been testing, learning, failing and, sometimes, winning in the relentless pursuit of creating quality beer. Now in 2021, we’ve made good on our name and gan yam’d back to Cumbria to set up our first brewhouse. Come and find us on the edge of our hometown, under the gentle gaze of Benson Knott.

Cask at the New Union, Kendal. Hazy orange with a white head. Chalky, herbal, pine and melon rind. Moderate bitterness. I suspect some people will like this a lot but it's just not my sort of thing.

Can ordered from Beer GB/Beer Ambleside. Aroma citrus and stone fruit, with Malta and coconut. Hazy dark orange. Thick fluffy foamy white head yearns to be set free from the constraints of the glass. Medium bitter. Tangy citrus. Soft underlying sweet fruit. Some spice. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Average-fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Decent enough. Very fruity.
