Description
Based in Long Marton, near Appleby, Tirril Brewery offers fine traditional ales, refreshingly crisp pilsners & a range of spirits. The first brew was delayed for a month, by the arrival of our daughter India. It turned out by chance that the current Tirril Brewery opened exactly 100 years after Siddle’s the last brewery in Tirril had closed….

Rocky white head left a covering on a clear copper coloured body. The aroma us so faint it's hard to tell what it is Medium bodied, smooth & sticky in the back. Caramel, malt, grain & bitter tastes. Why does the label say IPA - straightforward Bitter & quite a poor Bitter.

On cask at the Wainwright, Keswick. Appearance - deep amber with a proportionate, creamy white head. Nose - light caramel to toffee. Taste - melted toffee, digestive biscuit. Palate - close to medium bodied. Sweet in the middle. A little drier on the finish but still quite sweet. Overall - good nose, but ultimately too sweet on the palate.
