We started brewing some 3 years ago on a plucky ½ barrel kit in Epping in Essex, where we developed our Craft Lager and Magic Spells IPA. Originally brewing for friend’s parties, mate’s bands and of course ourselves, we learned the ropes working with an array of different people. We still have the ½ barrel kit set up at our new site in East London for experimenting but the core beers are now brewed on a 10 barrel kit, whilst we upscale to meet demand.

Light sweet flavour with low bitterness, more hay, pale grains, straw, citrus rind. Light bodied with fine to average carbonation.

330ml bottle, many thanks to ManVsBeer for this one. Bright golden-brown body, stable pearl white head. Laces well. Inviting smell of leafy hops and bread. Tasty with impact of pine, mango, leafy hops and distant malty sweetness. Rounded bitter tail. Clean in the mouth. Well made version of the style (shared at a rating session with djoeye and Finn, Tromsø 31.01.2018).
