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, 5.7%. Gusher. Citric and smokey aroma. The smoke is much like a campfire that has burnt out. Very dark brown colour and a very big stable brown head. The flavour is smoked and papery with a citric touch. OK mouthfeel, but prickly from the (over)carbonation. Late coffee flavour, along with a faint chilli warmth. Well-balanced.

Bottle. Pours cloudy dark copper brown with airy but stable beige head. Dark aroma of roast, malt and caramel. Bitter, roasty flavour, with sweetish notes of caramel malt and a touch of liquorice. Roasty finish. Well-balanced and good.

[10/3/13] Draught at Craft Beer Co Clerkenwell in London. Hazy orange. Lactic sour aroma with some funk, some fruitiness and light spiciness. Tart and lactic flavor with yogurt, fruits and a spicy touch. Rather light-bodied. Refreshing.
