Description
Hillside Brewery are a family owned and run business creating a range of traditional beers and one-off craft specials. We are passionate about beer and want to share that with others. Hosting several brewery tours, brewing experience days and events there is something for everyone (even if you don't like beer). Being a totally green company, run on ground source, air source, solar power and having our own bore hole water is a unique attribute for our brewery and we would love to meet you.
May Hill first brewed in 2011. The brewery was taken over in 2014 and became Hillside Brewery Limited. Several beers (e.g. Legless Cow and Summit continued to be brewed).

Bottle from a beer off in Nailsworth Gloucestershire. Hazed deep amber with a very dapper, lasting and almost fully lacing, tight off white froth. Nose has old school ginger biscuit malt and grapefruit marmalade hop. Taste is a little sweet and biscuity with a good pop of ripe citrus bitterness. Smooth mouthfeel with soft carbonation. Light but lingering bitterness to finish. Donโt know about some of the low ratings for this. I could easy do multiples.

Taste is fruity, a touch more caramel and chocolate with a roasty bitterness on the finish. Thin to medium body with a smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Very good.

Bottle from The Hillside Brewery Shop, Longhope, Gloucestershire. Pours a hazy amber/brown colour with a medium sized creamy off-white head. Aromas of apples, pears, stoney fruits, caramel and some spice. Taste is more fruit, caramel and spice, quite boozy with a fairly intense bitter and leathery note on the finish. Full body and thick smooth chewy like mouthfeel. Quite impressed with this enjoying it.
