Description

It’s safe to say that we like beer. In fact we like beer so much that we started our own brewery and it’s an employment requirement that everyone who joins our team is also passionate about beer. Obviously we’re a business so we have to make a profit each year so we can carry on working in the industry we love. We do that by making the best beer that we can.

Cask - Lime and some nice citrus hops. Clear gold with a nice frothy head. Pithy a pond resinous bitterness with some mild citrus notes. Pretty lively IPA for a cask.

Cask - Light malts and ginger. Jet black with a thin brown head. Ginger dominates with a light malt profile mid palate and some chocolate in the finish. Ginger come off a bit too strong.

Cask - Dark roast and piney hops. Deep mahogany with a bubbly head. Bitter hops and roast, with a long bitter finish. Hops aren’t well defined flavor wise.

Cask at Cronx Open Day. It pours darkest brown with a thick light tan head. The nose is roasted malt, toast, cocoa, earth and oily hop. The taste is bitter, roasty, pine, varnish, resin, cocoa, oily hop and citrus peel with a lingering dry, bitter finish. Light-medium body and soft carbonation. Flavoursome. Really rather nice light black ipa.
