We make mixed-culture, barrel fermented beer in Manchester. Having both worked in some of Manchester's best breweries over the past five years, we thought it was about time we put something of our own together.

On tap at Ebenezers, Nantwich. Pours a golden orange with minimal off-white head and fairly high carbonation. There’s apples and melon in the aroma. In the mouth sweetness and sharpness compete for attention. Flavour has floral hops and apples with hints of mango and melon coming through later. Some bitterness in the finish. This is a bit weird – but quite enjoyable.

Bottle sample courtesy of Fergus, cheers! Hazed orange-yellow gold colour, no head and aroma of phenol, iodine, islay barrel. Taste is sweetish, apple, fruity, then peaty, islay whiskey, oaky wood barrel, smokey notes with some drying tannin. Medium bodied, low carbonation, dry phenolic woody tannic finish. Nicely drinkable.

Bottle at home picked up from HOTM. A hazed bright orange coloured pourw ith a small loose off white large bubble head that fades. Aroma is big peaty smoke, TCP, dry pithy wood, apple skins, charred barrel staves. Light whiff of sharp vinegar on the nose, Flavour is composed of semi sweet, mealy app, wheat, canned pineapple, pithy apple, smoked wood, woody tannin, to drying finish, hickory smoke. The flavour is more balanced with a touch of sweetness than the nose suggests. Palate is semi sweet, to pithy drying finish, fine carbonation. Goff.

22/1/2025. Bottle shared by danlo, cheers Ed! Pours clear copper amber with minimal head. Aroma is peaty, smoked, stewed apple, woody. Peat dominated taste. Dry and woody. Very dry finish. Leathery, with more peat. Struggling to enjoy this. The peat’s not for me. Sorry.
