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.

Cask (Euston Tap, London) - Golden with a slight haze and a white head. Passion fruit, lychees and grapefruit in the aroma. Hoppy and fairly dry taste with notes of grapefruit, peach, lemon and passion fruit.

Clear golden beer with a grassy citrus aroma. Flavour is grassy and floral citrus with a bitter-sour follow-up. Light but rich. A touch cooler and it’d be my perfect sunny afternoon beer.

Cask at the Pure Bar and Kitchen, Birmingham. Poured a clear medium amber with a big super frothy white head. The aroma is big yeast citrus. The flavour is moderate bitter with a big hop bitter, yeast, zesty citrus, light medicinal palate. Light bodied with average carbonation. Refreshing for sure but I’m not convinced by the aftertaste.

Craft 100 at Craft Clapham. Cask. Hazy gold beer, small white bubbly head. Palate is light and semi dry, light fine carbonation. Milf floralness goes well with light lemony hops and a touch of marmalade. Semi dry finish. Light and pretty drinkable.

Cask at Leeds Int. BF. Nearly black. Tight, thin, pale brown head. Lots of roast coffee. Chocolate. Dark, roast malt. Some tar in there. Lovely big, thick, tasty beer that I ended up rushing to go catch a train. Would love to try again, and take time over it.

Hand-pulled pint in the Pure Bar and Kitchen, Birmingham on 30th Aug 2014. Poured a clear golden hue with a full white head. Piney, resinous hop nose and taste with a good bitterness from the start in the flavour. Malts hide behind the strong hop front. Dry finish and most enjoyable.
