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

Bottle, 4.9%. Sour rag aroma. Cloudy golden colour. Small stable white head. Tart flavour. Fruity and slightly off-tasting. Rather well-balanced off-tasting, though.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy straw with airy white head. Complex aroma of berries, flowers and hops. Vinous flavour with gooseberry notes and touches of hops. Sourish aftertaste. Not the best beer of this style I have tasted.

330ml bottle. Dark orange-amber colour, creamy off-white head leaving some lacing and aroma of fruity citrus, hop resin. Sweetish orangey, grapefruit flavour with malt caramel and woody pine, hop bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry lingering earthy bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

On cask at Kelham Island Tavern, Sheffield - Deep ruby red body, thick white head. Nose has sweet vanilla overtones, with the usual coffee and chocolate at the back. Taste is very similar, with a smooth texture. Canโt pick out the beetroot, but it is a bloody nice stout.

Cask @ The Bhurtpore Inn, Aston, Cheshire. Boring, inoffensive pale ale that tastes like every other cask pale ale around.

Hazy copper with a lasting off-white head. Aroma of toffee and biscuit, with a strong note of diacetyl. Dryish malty flavour with diacetyl and plenty of grassy and herbal hops.
