Description
The Edinburgh Beer Factory is a family run, independent brewery launched in 2015 to make people think again about beer and Scotland. Founded by the Dunsmore family, we’ve grown to great big family of 20+ team members.

Like Edinburgh we’re creative, inventive and outward-looking. We combine old and new ideas and techniques to create beers of beauty.

Inspired by the Edinburgh-born ‘Father of Pop Art’ Eduardo Paolozzi, we showcase the art of brewing. Paolozzi took everyday objects and transformed them into works of art; we take overlooked and underestimated beer styles and present them at their beautiful best.

33cl bottle from Beer52.com. A straw coloured pour with a thin white head and moderate carbonation; floral aroma with some breakfast cereal; sweet grainy body with a crisp, clean, grassy bitterness; and a touch of honey on the finish. Definitely a step up from a macro lager.

Bottle at home in London - picked up at Royal Mile Whiskies (Holborn). Pours totally clear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds cereal, pale bread, faint metal, lemon. Light to medium sweet flavor with further cereal character, ripening citrus fruits, jammy lemon, white bread, straw. Light bodied with average carbonation and massaging texture. Sweet on the finish, with more further cereal, biscuits, lemon rind, light tangerine, some dough, hay, pale grains, slight melon. Overall, it’s an easygoing and rather tasty lager.

Clear gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light and semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Clean pale malts, trace of sweetness. Whispers of floralness and citrus, bare whispers. Light finish. Hardly reborn lager is it? More same old same old, clean at least.

Bottle consumed at home. It pours very lightly hazy pale yellow-gold with a small white head. The nose is soft, pale bread, cracker, mild sweetness, grainy and grass. The taste is crisp, quite clean, white bread, paper, cracker, touch of cream and grassy action with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Pretty well-rounded for what it is. A simple, but enjoyable lager bier.

Bottle from Vino Broughton St. pours with a head. Aromas of grass, grain. Taste is astringent, something not very fresh on the finish, but ok.

Re-rate. This time round this had elements of the kind of Helles beer you only find in Munich. Crisp, balanced on the finish. Nose has typical sweetcorn and green bean thing going on. Great example. Previous rating on 11/03/15. 6 + 4 + 6 + 3 + 12 = 3.1 33cl bottle. Appearance - golden with a thin head and very gentle bubbles. Nose - malt, lemon and honey. Taste - more of the same. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be better. Overall - decent but could be drier on the finish.
