Description
Kirkstall Brewery was inspired by the rich brewing history of Kirkstall village, which later formed part of the city of Leeds. The brewing company boasts a rich history spanning from the 12th century, where the Cistercian monks founded Kirkstall Abbey and began the area’s brewing legacy. The original Kirkstall Brewery was founded in 1871 and was in operation till 1983 when it was closed by its last owners, Whitbread. The buildings have been well preserved and are now home to students of Leeds Metropolitan University. The new Kirkstall Brewery is located on the Leeds Liverpool canal, in the shadow of the original brewery, reviving the tradition of brewing in Kirkstall and the inspiration to once again make the name famous for great beer.

Can from Asda and drunk at home. Cloudy pale gold colour. Lasting white head. Hoppy aroma. Certainly lime aroma. And an earthy edge to aroma. Certainly an attractive aroma. In the mouth it's good. Enough pale malt to carry the hops. Some kiwi fruit some sweetish lime. I mean I thought this was good. Certainly a very drinkable pale ale with unusual lime cucumber and kiwi flavours. Very drinkable. Light to moderate bitterness on the finish. I really liked it

Sample courtesy of Grumbo. Cheers! Aroma of pine, grass and citrus. Not a lot of citrus on the taste. Quite watery, quite herby but not really a lot to it. Very drinkable though.
