We’re reviewing the entire Northern Powerhouse Brew Series – this is the final beer in the series, after 008, 006, 007, 001, 002, 003 and 005.
The last of the series is one of the more traditional styles on show. The beer pours a lightly hazy golden colour, with notes of brown sugar and bubble-gum leaping out of the glass. Just when I was flagging, this brought a nice fizzy zing to the party. READ MORE
We’re reviewing the entire Northern Powerhouse Brew Series – this is the penultimate beer, after 008, 006, 007, 001, 002 and 003.
Wow. This beer was very much right place, right time. The last two beers had very strong flavours, in their own ways, and packed a big hit so what better than a low ABV sour to mix it up? Well, nothing better as this was the beer of the series.
We’re reviewing the entire Northern Powerhouse Brew Series – this is beer six, after 008, 006, 007, 001 and 002.
I was glad to see a saison come out of the fridge next and this delivered exactly what I wanted with traditional aromas of earthiness, bananas, cloves and a rich savoury note. The flavour backs this up – there’s that trademark ‘Belgian’ flavour supplied by the choice of yeast that gives this beer a beautiful funk with plenty of banana and bubble-gum in the mix.
We’re reviewing the entire Northern Powerhouse Brew Series – this is beer five, after 008, 006, 007 and 001.
I had very high expectations, and that’s a sign of how much I love Cloudwater and Wylam but this was my first slight disappointment of the series. From the can, it poured a viscous brown and there was an instant hit of big sweet smells spilling out of the glass. READ MORE
We’re reviewing the entire Northern Powerhouse Brew Series – this is the fourth beer we tried, after 008, 006 and 007.
I’m glad this didn’t appear right at the end of the night. Too many people consign their impy stouts to that stage of an evening, but I want to experience this style in the middle of some paler beers. The contrast enhances the experience! READ MORE
