Description
Box Social Brewing was established in 2015 by father and son duo Steve and Ross Holland. The brewery's aim is to create new and exciting beers to get people talking to each other and question their perception of beer.

After a long time working out of Steve's garage, brewing beer really just for ourselves, we decided to take the plunge and set up shop in a small industrial estate in Newburn on a 6 Barrel kit. We built a small tasting room on site so people could come and taste the freshest beer possible and began working on our beer range. Four years later, we were selling out of beer faster than we could make it and decided we had to take the next step.

We moved into our new 15 Barrel brewery in February 2019. This has allowed us to create not only better beer, but more of it!

Can. Hazy gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Soft malts, a mild creamy sweetness. Tidy orangey citrus, reasonably fresh tasting. A little hop spice. Modest seltzer and a little bitterness on the finish. Tidy IPA.

44cl can, BB 04/09/2019. Dorée au premier abord, par après le tout devient très trouble avec même des sédiments dans le verre, le col est blanc-cassé. Arôme est fruité, agrumes et tropical - petite touche rappelant le fruit de la passion, houblonné fin en rétro, effet sour IPA plus caché. Palais est sur les agrumes, le côté 'sour' renforce l'effet acidulé des fruits, note un côté tropical plaisant rappelant la papaye, mangue et orange sanguine. Cet excès de levure tend à donner un caractère trop épicé sur la fin et le tout en vient à dénaturer la bière. Voir les sédiments en dépôt après ouverture.
