Description
After a great reception from his hobby as an enthusiastic amateur brewer, Toby Mackenzie and his wife Caroline decided to expand and go full time establishing the award winning Red Willow brewery in 2010. Their aim was to make the types of beer that they like - full of flavour yet easy to drink. Red Willow now offer a range of beers that can be found in many local pubs and shops in cask

St Anne's Summer Seaside Day.Out Beer#3. Darker golden coloured, so not 'dank' in this respect. Perhaps more so in taste though where a dirtier hopped pine resin flavour is evident, and in its aroma too. Grassy, floral as if nature is warning you to stay away! But not quite that bad.

235 is this Faithless brew number, it's also the country code for Chad. Pale yellow-gold coloured with dirty pine evident in both aroma and taste, but not undrinkable, it's just its character. Quite a sessionable texture it has too.

My third consecutive new Faithless brew in a row in the same venue! Do they deliver anywhere else? Very mildly hazed yellow-gold in colour. Citrus in both aroma and taste is towards the skunkier side of the spectrum, but I think it's supposed to be this, in terms of texture and taste all is well and quite soft in the palate. There's an underlying citric sweetness to proceedings and lemon provides the most prominent fruit flavour.
