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

Keg at CBC Clerkenwell - London. Pours lightly hazy good with a fine, white foam head. Mellow lacto funk on the nose, a bit of berry tang. Light sweet flavor with super well balanced tabgy berries, subtle acidic lemon, light funk, hints of grass. Light bodied with fine, spritzy carbonation. Very clean and fresh on the finish, further balanced tang. Great beer.

Keg at The Hanging Bat. Hazy golden body with a thin white head that fades almost instantly. No lacing. Vinous, lemony, yeasty aroma. Very sharp lemon juice and gooseberry flavour with a dry, dusty finish. Thin body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Lively carbonation. An incredibly lemony Saison. Pretty good but paled in a side-by-side comparison with the Blackjack/Marble/Quantum EIBF Saison.

Wspaniale piwo ciemne IPA, a w zasadzie czarne nieprzeswitujace. Piana spora i wielgachna, trwala. Aromatyczne bukiety zapachowe chmieli. W smaku takze nasycone goryczkowoscia i wytrawnoscia. Troche nut czekoladowego budyniu. Finisz dlugi i chmielny.

Cask at the southern. Pours clear golden brown with a thin, strangely lumpy looking head. Good US hop aromas, grapefruit especially. Some caramel malt on the taste, slightly sweet finish with hops appearing further down the line. Good pint.
