Well, it doesn’t taste like beer! Its a citrussy, sweet, yet tangy lemonade style drink, more like an alcopop. Its very refreshing, but I’m not sure what to make of it. I enjoyed it, but feel a bit aggrieved that I could have got a bottle of hooch for a lot cheaper!

A collaboration with York’s Chocolate Story, this is a super chocolatey flavoured smooth milk stout. Nothing more, nothing less. A great beer.

A super fruity NEIPA. This seems thick, not just hazy, it seems to have a slump to it, its like a meal in a glass. Its mega fruity with citrussy flavours coming through, but with just the right amount of hops too. A great beer. Its made with NZ hops for that exotic flavour, and is a collaboration with Drop Project who provided consultancy to Brew York on the build of their new brewery!

A mango pale ale. Its fruity, but a bit too hoppy for my liking, with the hops overpowering the fruitiness of the mangoes.
Not too bad in general.

The second release of their state of mind Barrel Aged series, and its great!
A Chocolate and coffee imperial breakfast milk stout which has been barrel aged in Wild Turkey Bourbon casks for 18 months.
You can taste all of the individual flavours and it is just such a smooth, yet strong, sipping beer. Awesome!

Would I recommend? Absolutely
Would I buy again? Of course (if I could afford it!)

A little tart IPA. featuring the Yuzu fruit from Japan, a citrus fruit that is a cross between a mandarin and some weird limey lemon thing that only grows in China, all super interesting and all, but actually its not a particularly nice beer, for me anyway. . . Yeah its fruity, but a bit bland.
Interestingly its the first and only collaboration beer I have tried that was a joint venture between a brewery and a food joint 🙂

Red grape and raspberry imperial pastry sour.
Wow, its sour, its strong, initially you get a sour hit of fruity goodness, followed by an almost cidery flavour, rounded off perfectly by a sweetness of kind of biscuity flavour. A super well rounded sour. Very refreshing.

Unfortunately, the worst Bristol beer I have tried. Its light in colour, and a bit bitter and smoky in flavour. Not really my cup of tea.

Wow, now this is one of the best beers I have ever tried, period. . .
Its barrel aged in oak bourbon barrels and is an Chocolate, Hazlenut and Coffee imperial stout.
All of the flavours are there, sumptuous, rich chocolate, nutty hazelnut and a nice edge of coffee rounded off perfectly by the oakiness of the barrel aging. Absolutely superb, go on! treat yourself!
