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

Cask, gravity at Dudley Winter Ales Festival Sat 26th November 2011 with Bob Quite easily the best of the offerings that I’ve had at Dudley today by some considerable distance. This is a good tasty beer, really nice and hoppy, good fruitiness with the hops really shining, not sure what they are as I never bothered with a programme. Mid gold in colour with decent clarity. Very good. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15 3.8

(Cask at Wenlock Arms, London, 22 July 2011) Amber colour, slightly hazy, with frothy off-white head. Malty, slightly toasty nose with notes of apricots and orange. Malty taste with toast, apricots and orange. Decent bitterness in the finish. A slight touch of diacetyl? Medium body, with balanced sweetness. Decent, but I’m a bit unsure of the shape.
