Following on from my last post I’ve still got a few beers
from my birthday drinks to add, it feels like a lifetime ago now so I need to
get my arse into gear. My second and third beers at the Old Red Lion were both
from Saltaire Brewery in Yorkshire. Since starting brewing in West Yorkshire in
2005 the brewery has won a host of awards for its beer and finally, finally it
makes an appearance on my blog, as worthy an accolade as any I’m sure you’ll
agree. First up was Saltaire Blonde a nice golden ale brewed with German and
Czech hops. It pours clear gold with a good hoppy nose. The taste is grassy hop
with a bit of citrus, very finely balanced with some well-rounded malt. The
flavours are very delicate which made this super drinkable and rather
refreshing. Apparently it is also now
stocked in Waitrose nationally which is pretty bloody good news for the summer.
Brewery: Saltaire Brewery
Country: United Kingdom
