Presentation: Sampled from HandPump #1 of #4 at the Baroque in Leeds, West Yorkshire, England during my Easter Tour. Pastel red simple looking Pumpclip had the words ‘Northern’ with the left strake of the ‘h’ elongated into an upward pointing arrow, has the words ‘Soul Master’ underneath and a strength of 4.4% listed at the base of the clip.


Appearance: Slick looking lucid golden urine body with some yellowy traits. Thin white head but it lasted the race to the bottom of the pint pot. Carbonation was moderate and a tad on the light side.

Nose: Light hops, delicate floral aroma and a spritzy effervescent nose. Lively, but low in strength.

Taste: Uses American and English hops, not exactly in high quantities that I’m used but they are put to perfect use in this English Cask Ale. Light flora and a hoppy bitterness that had some fragrant perfume character to it. Fruity finish.

Mouthfeel: Sadly the carbonation was less than expected and required maybe this was the end of the Cask, nevertheless, a light creamy feel and a nice crisp bitterness on the palate.

Drinkability: Extremely refreshing and a solid brew after a long days drinking around the County of West Yorkshire.

Overall: Thomas Fawcett (Malt), Charles Faram (Hops), Thomas Hardy & Burtonwoods (Fresh Yeast), Murphy & Son (Finings, DWB) and Lake Vyrnwy, Wales (Water). The mix works well; tasty and quaffable.

A new beer from a new brewer, and a great start! Recommended.
