REVIEW - York Guzzler


                                                                       

Beer - York Guzzler
Brewery - York Brewery 
Strength -3.6%
Type - Golden Ale

My first beer of the week is northern favourite, and I hope will be one of yours as well.

I was recently traveling in the North of the Country, and came across a few brewery's that I hadn't tasted before. One of which is The York Brewery, who do a lot of different types and flavours of Ale, and who may fast become a favourite of mine.
The Guzzler is in their 'Core Beers' range (Their other ranges include 'Classics', 'Globe Hopping', and 'Off The Wall')

The York Brewery use the well known Challenger Hops in a mix with less known Celeia for this craft, which gives it a malty taste not unlike that of a Pale Ale.

A delicious golden ale with hints of peach and grapefruit, a very crisp summer ale. It's very malty, slightly bitter, and smooth... but is a little bit thin for my tastes.
This may also be slightly amplified by low alcohol content, as it is a noticeably weak Ale (Although this is not always a bad thing). For that reason, an otherwise great Golden Ale has been slightly marked down.

That being said I quite enjoyed it and I will reviewing some more York Brewery beers in the future!
