Description
We are a Cooperative Brewery in Belfast owned and run by our members. Opening our doors in 2014, we are the first brewery in NI to bring together modern US styles with the more traditional Belgian/French style beers.
They’ve been leading the way in their native Northern Ireland, specialising in excessively hoppy Pale Ales, decadent Stouts and barrel-aged Sours and Saisons. Utilising the legendary Simpson’s Malt, a broad variety of American hops and all yeasts great and small Boundary beer is always of the highest quality, full of exciting flavours and packaged in beautiful cans.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Murky amber/brown body with a dense off-white head. Good lacing. Aroma of orange, pot puri and lime. Flavour of tangy hops, biscuit and pine. Medium body with an oily mouthfeel. Light fizz. Quite raw but very drinkable for the strength.

Bottle from The Beerhive. Hazy amber body with tiny yeast flecks floating around. Thin off-white head. Aroma of musty citrus, grain and weak tea. Flavour of lemon sweets, biscuit and grass. Thin to medium body with a light texture. Soft fizz. Not much of anything going on here... Nice label design - although I’d like it more of the ingredients were listed. (3.1) Can, shared with Andrew. Murky amber body with a thin off-white head. Aroma of blood orange and grain. Flavour of tinned orange and minerals. Thin body with a watery texture. Soft fizz. The hops don’t shine in this. It’s just ok. (3.1) Can from Cloudwater online shop (March 2020). Murky amber body with an off-white head. Lively carbonation. Faint lacing. Aroma of green banana and tea. Flavour of rust, biscuit and brown bread. Thin to medium body with a smooth texture. Soft fizz. Metallic and earthy. Decent for the ABV. (3.2)

Bottle, pours an opaque orangey brown with a small white head. Aroma is very yeasty, with caramel and butterscotch. Flavour is bizarre, with butterscotch, loads of yeast and bitter hops. It's a yeasty mess. Nothing really off with this, but it's not a good beer.

At a tasting, thanks, small stable bubbly head, quite cloudy and a little deep orange color, lemon citrus aroma with some pine and shrub and a hint of malt in the back, lemony fruity flavor with some malt, pronounced sourness, light bitterness, light bodied and nicely balanced. Very good and quite original.
