Lancaster Brewery (UK) Reviews

ManVsBeer	3 Lancaster Junction 34 Cask @ D'Ale House, Rochdale. Blonde with a thick creamy head. Mildly herbal brew, comes across as tea, especially in aroma. A bit more hoppy in its aftertaste. Wednesday, April 24, 2024
wyzzywyz22	3.3 Lancaster ICE IPA Saturday, April 20, 2024
scotsmac	3.6 Lancaster Junction 34 Cask at the Ship, Kirkby-in-Furness. Herbs in the nose. Crisp with a slight floral taste and a lasting bitterness. Very nice for a 3.4% ale Sunday, April 7, 2024

ManVsBeer	3.2 Lancaster ICE IPA Cask @ D'Ale House, Rochdale. Only very mildly hazed despite being described as a hazy beer, although this was the first pull of the barrel. Hopped appealing session ale with a thick creamy-frothy head. Monday, February 26, 2024
ManVsBeer	3.3 Lancaster Flare Keg @ D'Ale House, Rochdale. Hazy golden with a decent head. Not a stated tropical fruit effort, its carbonation has a subduing effect in this respect, but it is fruity enough, especially in its aroma. Sunday, February 25, 2024
ManVsBeer	3 Lancaster White Gold Cask @ Lancaster Brewery Tap, Lancaster. Blonde with a creamy head. Hoppy brew with a light character and as such easy supping, without being thin. Sunday, February 11, 2024
ManVsBeer	3.1 Lancaster Tales From The Brewhouse (2017) No.12 - Snowdrop Pale Ale Cask @ Strawberry Garden, Fleetwood. Golden with a creamy-frothy head. Hopped easy-drinking session brew. Nothing too stated but its texture and mouthfeel appeal. Friday, February 9, 2024
ManVsBeer	3.1 Lancaster Harlequin Pale Cask @ Turls Green, Bradford. Blonde with a creamy head. Hoppy effort with a good body, finding the fruit is difficult but can just about make out the said mango in this one. Thursday, February 8, 2024
downender	3.4 Lancaster Harlequin Pale Cask-conditioned at the Commercial Rooms (JDW), Bristol October 2023. Golden in colour, with a slight, white, head. Citrus hops, some tropical mango and papaya fruit character, light maltiness leading to a dryish finish. Good. Saturday, February 3, 2024
Martinsh	3.3 Lancaster Blonde Cask at Bull & Stirrup, Chester – at 4%. Pours lemon yellow with a small foamy almost white head and good lacing. Not a very strong aroma – just traces of floral hops and citrus. In the mouth it is bittersweet, fluctuating between the two extremes. Flavour starts off as lemon, citrus and floral hops, but after a while sweet malts come through as well. Finish is dry and slightly bitter. This is a decent golden ale. Saturday, January 27, 2024

Martinsh	3.3 Lancaster Haymaker Cask at Guild Ale House, Preston (at 4.2%). Pours a pale straw with a small white head and good lacing. There’s a sweet aroma to this one, with hints of floral hops. Sweetness to the fore in the mouth as well, but tempered by some underlying bitterness. Flavour has straw, lemongrass and hay, with some mango and berry fruits coming through later. Finish is slightly sharp and dry. This is reasonable if not wildly exciting. Sunday, November 12, 2023

ManVsBeer	3 Lancaster Cherry Black Keg @ Lancaster Brewery, Lancaster. Very dark clear red, looks a bit brown for it. Sweet cherry dominates, the colour of the brew matters little here as there's hardly any associated characteristics of a dark ale here. Friday, October 13, 2023
