Description
Our current kit can produce up to 20 brewer’s barrels, depending on the beer and how heavily hopped it is. We have 10 fermentation vessels, with the most recent additions being oversized to allow double brews of our more popular beers. Having started as a one-man operation, the business has slowly expanded to the current team of eight as demand, production, brew house and premises size have increased.
We put a premium on quality and consistency, which means monitoring the beer at every stage of the brewing process and beyond. Much of our equipment, i.e. our keg washing & filling machine and our bottling machine, were chosen with this in mind.

Can from Bee52. Hazy gold with foamy white head. Aroma of orange, mango, strawberry with light malt and flora. Taste has a decent juicy hop quality with citrus, mango, pine, pineapple backed up by a caramel and clean grain noted malt. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, modest bitterness, semi-drying, average finish with no zing or late hop burst. Still decent.

Can from Honest Brew. Pours a hazy light gold with moderate sized white foamy head, nice retention and lacing. Aroma of coconut, mango, passionfruit, general floral and earthiness with a soft malt background. Quite intense, I like it. Taste of coconut, citrus zest, mango, softer grapefruit notes, bread, light tingle of spice. I never knew you could get so much coconut oil like flavour from a hop. Medium bodied, soft to zingy carbonation. Quite an intense hoppy APA with soft malts and decent complexity. However, I would prefer coconut notes to complement mostly tropical fruit hop flavours rather than the other way around, which is the only thing stopping me giving it a 4+ rate.

Can from Honest Brew. Pours a hazy gold, small tight white head, lovely retention and lacing. Aroma of stone fruits, pine, coconut, flora, slightly toasty. Taste is softer in character than the aroma suggested with grapefruit, coconut, orange but there is still some floral and pine resin, soft light bready notes, tangy and bitter in the finish rounds off nicely. Medium bodied, very smooth, soft carbonation. Excellent all round APA.
