Description
Ideal Day Family Brewery are focused on three things: family (it’s in the name), beer (also, kind of in the name) and regenerative agriculture (bet you didn’t see that one coming). We are based in the Tamar Valley in Cornwall which is an area of outstanding natural beauty. Our brewery is on Crocadon Farm near Saltash.

We make beers focused on where our ingredients, especially our grain, comes from and how it was farmed. Our brewing inspiration comes from Belgium farmhouse traditions, classic British beers and modern innovation. It’s what we love doing. We strive to create tasty beers while supporting farmers who are saving our soils and ecosystems with regenerative agriculture.

Bottle at home in Hackney. Mild ticks 4 life. Had an understated richness about it. Nicely toasted malts, milk chocolate, soft earthy hops, a little toffee, brown bread. Nicely balanced.

Bottle. Beer Stop Dronfield. Scarily murky dark reddy brown. Suds of sticky lasting beige foam. Not a looker, other than the swede. Nose has fudgy dark chocolate. Steeped vine fruit. Old world hop leaf. Taste has a definite vinous twang with semi sweet chocolate malt and fairly punchy hop leaf bitterness. Mouthfeel is nicely robust with fine fizz. Earthy and woody vinous finish. Plenty happening. Nice one.

Bottle. Beer Stop Dronfield. Murky dark brown pour sits black in the glass. Very nice soppy lasting lacing beige foam. Nose has bitter roast malt. Whiff of ash. Whiff of dark chocolate coffee truffle. Taste is nicely bitter and hop leaning with a brief flicker of chocolate sweetness. Lovely mouthfeel at the lowly ABV. Big hoppy bitter finish. Great stuff.

Очень странный запах, с какими то дикими дрожжами и запахом сена, солод также. Цвет блдено желтый, полу мутный, пенки почти нету. Вкус слегка мокрого картона, есть солод и дрожжи. Много сена и вообще хлев. Пьется питко в целом, но странно.

Аромат весьма кислый, есть специи сразу с лимонои и лаймом. Цвет бледно желтый, пенки почти нету. Вкус весьма питкий, очень кислый, есть и мякоть и лимона и цедра от лайма. Немного базилика и прочих специй. Кислота на финише почти уксусная. В целом норм на раз.

Хороший аромат схожий на классический сизон Бельгийский. Есть сено и легкая приятная травянистость от нее, немного сладкой пшеницы. Цвет мутно желтый, пенки почти нету, пил из крана. Вкус умеренный и сбалансированный, есть снова пшеница слегка сладкая, сено и хлев, немного яблока и груши. В целом интересно.
