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.

500ml bottle [6.0% abv as per label]. Clear dark golden colour with average, frothy to creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Piney hop aroma, some citrus, a touch of passion fruit. Taste is crisp, dry to bitter hoppy, minimally piney, caramel malty basis with a touch of biscuit. Simple but nice.

Keg at Euston Tap. Very tart, a bit syrupy and a little too much raspberry for my taste buds.

Tap @ euston tap, medium sample. Cloudy Bordeaux red color, short reddish head. Aroma of bit tart raspberry, very fruity, hint of marzipan. Again, extremely fruity. Taste is somewhat sour, slight sweet, but all from the massive fruit in it. Bit sparkling.
