Description
We think life’s too short not to enjoy what you do, so we decided to brew. First and foremost we brew beer for you to enjoy. But we also think the art and science of brewing is fascinating so we’re going to share that with you.
We’re interested in creating good chemistry in its broadest sense – not just in the quality of the beer we brew, but using that to allow us to celebrate community and relationships across science, the arts, music, food, and social experiences, as well as beer & brewing. We might be biased, but we think Bristol is one of the best cities in the UK, and we’ll shout about that as much as we can.
The brewery was started by Bob and Kelly in 2015, finding a home for the 10 barrel kit in St Philips in East Bristol.

On tap at the brewery tap room. Orange-gold with a wheat haze, spotty lacing from a firm white head. Aroma of citrus, lightly spiced. Fruity flavours with a careful touch of dark spiced. Wheaty backbone. Short bittersweet tail. Decent. (Attending East Bristol Brewery Trail 29.04.2017).

Tap at the brewery. Remaining white head, spotty lacing, clear warm golden body. Modest smell of floral hops with citric hints. Hop fruity flavours, impact of grapefruit and pineapple. Brief moments of citrus peels to the ending. Refreshing, easy to drink. (Attending East Bristol Brewery Trail 29.04.2017).

Cask-conditioned, on gravity, at the Volunteer Tavern, Bristol 15/4/2017. Golden in colour, with a slight haze, and small, white, head. Plenty of citrus and pineapple fruit character, with some floral hops, crisp, balancing, malts, leading to a dryish finish. Enjoyable.

Hazy deep gold beer, decent pale cream colour head. Smooth malts, mild creamy sweetness. Ripe tropical fruits. Mild orange and marmalade. Tangerine and mild hop spice. All good but unfortunately there is a milky sweet/diacetyl streak running throughout and it brings the whole beer down for what was otherwise very good.

Cask-conditioned at the Gryphon, Bristol 8/12/2016. Near black in colour with a thin, beige, head. Aroma of chocolate, toasty malts, leafy hops, and a touch of caramel. Flavour had some chocolate sweetness, gently roasted malts and a gentle finish. Very good, easy drinking for the ABV.

On tap @Mad for Beer (Rome). Pours pale golden with a medium white head. Aroma is fruity with grassy notes, light melon, mango, lemon, malt, a bit confused. Flavour is quite balanced but not impressing at all, medium malty with a delicate bitterness. Medium body, medium carbonation. Rough.

On tap @Mad for Beer (Rome). Pours amber with a medium head. Aroma is mostly malty with fruits, lots of caramel, toffee, no peculiar trace of belgian yeasts. Flavour is very sweet, malty, unbalanced, boring. Medium to light body, medium to light carbonation. Not my cup of tea.
