Description
Independent Brewery producing a wide range of Cask, Keg, Bottled and Canned beers. Products available direct from the on-site shop and tours are available about twice a month. Most beers are now gluten free.
From modest origins in July 2011, which saw Nene Valley Brewery operating with just a two-and-a-half-barrel facility, the company moved into its new riverside premises at the end of that year and now operates a 15-barrel installation. Brewing is undertaken once a week with a range of products distributed to local pubs, wholesalers and direct to the public.

Can. Light haze on this orange amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth but light and fairly dry palate, reasonable fine carbonation. Pretty full on marmalade and orange peel bitterness, some thin but tasty bourbon soaked grapefruit, pink grapefruit. Modest spice. Light crisp finish. doesn't fall too far short of what it sets out to do, but ultimately nothing special!

Keg, half-pint on 2nd Dec 2019, The Pint Shop, Birmingham. Golden body, clean and clear, white crust on top. Tropical fruits rule both the nose and taste, a right fruit cocktail of a beer. Actually I enjoyed it.
