Description

Sunbeam Ales is a Leeds based microbrewery run by Nigel Poustie. It was established in 2012 and has developed a reputation for multi award-winning cask ales. The brewery is only 2BBL so limited amounts of the sort after cask ales are distributed around Yorkshire.

Nigel mostly brews once a week, occasionally twice, rotating through a range of beers. Periodically he will brew a seasonal special, often incorporating foraged ingredients. The brewery doesn’t hold much stock, so it is a good idea to place pre-orders.

Cask @ Whitelocks, Leeds. Blonde with ah ead. It has a nice light tasting mango flavour, but a less obvious milkshake styling.

Cask @ Fox & Goose, Hebden Bridge. Blonde with a creamy-frothy head. Hoppy, there's a berry-fruitiness in its nose, and has a session-hoppy taste.

Cask @ Jacobs Beer House, Bradford. Golden with a creamy head. It's a very quaffable hoppy ale with a low bitterness and a good clean smoothness. Has a floral nose.

Cask sample from Leeds Beer Festival 2019 courtesy of Grumbo, cheers Graham! Brown amber colour, bubbly biege foam head and aroma of plum, malt, chocolate, biscuity. Taste is fruity, juicy plum, biscuity, toffee, malty, chocolate, syrup, with vanilla, wafer, and some bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry finish with slight tartness and lingering fleshy plum. Nicely drinkable.

31st May 2019; hand-pulled pint in The Boat, Skipton. Clean golden pour, white head. Fruity and malty with a good hoppy finish. Mixed tropical fruits in the nose, malty front to the taste before the bitterness kicks in. Nice.
