Description
Camerons Brewery is now the only remaining major independent family brewer in the North East of England. Evidence of brewing at the site in Hartlepool dates back to 16th century and The Lion Brewery has been home to Camerons since 1865. We use a selection of the finest ingredients sourced both locally as well as using new hop varieties from around the world. The brewing team at Camerons combine these with water drawn from two of the artesian wells located 230ft below the brewery. Our aim is to produce a range of fantastic beers that has the unique combination of craft, heritage & innovation brewed into every pint.

Can from Asda, Wycombe. Gold with a white head. The aroma is less peach and more pot pourri, and it's also heavily floral on the first taste - too much so for me. I guess it might be peach blossom but it's definitely not peach. It's also initially quite bitter and watery. However on drinking more it mellows quite a bit and actually becomes rather refreshing by the end. A touch of gingery crumble topping in the finish was a pleasant surprise. Overall then it was much better by the end than I first feared, but it's still slightly sub-par.

Klar brun med hvitt skum lukter malt og sitrus. Maltpreg i smaken. Noe sitrus er det også. Lett og fin å drikke.

Brown, opaque with a beige head. Roasted and slightly creamy aroma with notes of roasted malt, chocolate, and coffee. Medium body, light carbonation, minimal bitterness. Very delicate with subtle roasted, coffee, and chocolate notes. And this is supposed to represent Motörhead?

Malty, hoppy taste with notes of citrus, grass, black-currant, crackers and a balanced citric/grassy bitterness. Medium body, quite dry. Refreshing and well balanced. Nice one.

On a flight in the Fossgate Tap, York on 19th May 2026 (as Session IPA, no mention of 'Head of Steam). It's fine.

Malty taste with caramel, red fruit, apricots, dried fruit, syrup and a mild earthy bitterness. Medium body, with a certain sweetness. Smooth and creamy. Not really daring, but quite nice.
