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!

Well, the word "lightly" is correct. Sweet, little bit of raspberry, nothing tart though. It does actually taste like a proper cheesecake of the synthetic kind, just could be some stronger flavours. Raspberry saroma. Tasty for sure, but very thin.

44cl can, no BB, bought @ Fira del Poblenou, BCN, @ Box Social booth. Ambre, col beige disparaissant vite. Arôme marqué de framboise et cake à la framboise assumé par l'ajout de vanille et de lactose qui rend le tout assez proche d'une IPA fruitée - la douceur latente se ressent même au nez - le caractère naturel de framboise devient de fait un peu réduit. Palais est léger au niveau de l'aspect pale ale - retrouve pas mal de framboise sur le fini doux - cheesecake bien présent.Retrouve peu le caractère un peu aigre de la framboise - qcq notes de malt pâle et grains sur la fin avec une épaisseur latente d'avoine. Le tout n'est pas vraiment aidé par une effervescence faible. Too much pastry kills the pastry.

Can 440ml (Mikkeller web)
Dark brown colour, small vanishing beige head. Light toasted but more like sweet aroma with hints of vanilla. Lactose must be there. Suprisingly light for 7%. Toasted, sweet, lactose, vanilla in the flavour. Could be more robust and have some roastyness.

20th July 2019: Rhythm 'n' Brews festival at The New Inn, Newport Shropshire. 440ml can; BB 17th Jan 2020. Hazy body, pink head. Raspberry tartness rules the roost here, although there is also a heavy malt presence that attempts to give some balance.
