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.

Draft at Euston Tap, London on 13 July 2013. Poured a purplish colour with a pink head. Aroma of tart, unripened raspberry. Initial very tart flavours quite nicely balanced with a little fruit sweetness, but not enough to be too sweet.

Half by cask at North Bar. Yellow-gold body, slightly hazy. Minimal head and lace. Fruity aroma with emphasis on lemon. Half-dry and mid-sweet lemony flavours leading to a bittersweet ending. A bit watered in the mouth. Average for the style (Leeds 01.07.2013).
