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….

25/7/2020. Bottle from Beer Cockermouth (beergb.com), and shared with the SHIG at our second Cumbrian bottle share. Pours clear pale golden amber with a small frothy off-white head leaving nice lacing. Aroma is fruity, citrus, caramel, floral, and little stewed. Medium sweetness and light bitterness with a touch of tart. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average carbonation. Fruit strudel finish. Sweet, but I quite liked that about this one, which was the best of their 5 at the bottle share.
