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.

Bottle shared in London - purchased at Offy in Whitstable. Pours clear orange-gold with a creamy, white head. Grainy pale malts in the nose, citric hops, hay, lemon peel. Light sweet flavour with more crispy pale grains, old lemon peel, bitter hay. Light bodied with fine carbonation. OK balance in the finish, with more pale husky grains, lemon peel. Pretty so so.

Bottle care of Leighton. It pours hazy golden with a medium white head. The aroma is sort of grainy, bready, porridge, orange peel, peach and light plastic. The taste is crisp, grainy, sweet, cereal, porridge, hay and bread with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate body. Basic stuff.
