Brewery: Ilkley Brewery | Find them: Ilkley Brewery
We love supporting our local breweries and Ilkley is just a short train ride away, so we decided to include a selection of their beers in March’s new brews
For me, the Slake was the standout of the four. Lager isn’t my favourite style, but this is one of the best lagers I’ve ever had – it was light, refreshing and malty. Alex’s favourite was the Blonde, which was also excellent. But they were all good beers, and all under 4.5% ABV, making them all good session beers.
The beers
Slake 4.5%
Brewer’s note: Craving a crisp, clean lager that quenches your thirst with every sip? Look no further than Ilkley Brewery’s Slake Lager. Patiently lagered for a rich and full flavour before dry-hopping. This golden lager boasts a distinctive biscuit aroma and a refreshingly light taste. Enjoy Slake on a sunny afternoon, while grilling with friends, or simply as a light and refreshing beverage any time.
Mary Jane 3.4%
Brewer’s note: Intensely refreshing, with citrus aroma and balanced bitterness. Named after the character from the Yorkshire anthem ‘Ont Ilkla Moor Baht’at’.
Blonde 4%
Brewer’s note: Easy-drinking, good-looking session blonde beer, a modern take on the classic golden bitter. Delightful honey sweetness, complemented by subtle citrus notes. The soft biscuit character adds depth and complexity, while the crisp finish leaves you wanting more. Whether you’re a seasoned beer drinker or just starting to explore the world of beers, God’s Own Session Blonde is a must-try.
Pale 4.2%
Brewer’s note: Crisp and dry with a zesty finish and fresh-cut grass aroma. Powerfully hopped for a floral finish. The Sauvignon Blanc of the beer world.
