Hesket Newmarket Helvellyn Gold
A smooth golden bitter. And exactly what it tastes like. Mix of a golden ale and bitter. A pleasing balance of the two makes for a refreshing and easy drinking bitter that is more than pleasant.

Hesket Newmarket Old Carrock Strong Ale
Clear bronze appearance which impressed me. Poured with a small head. Nutty slightly sweet flavour which makes for a very drinkable mid range beer. This brewery is a co-operative which is a good enough reason IMO for supporting it. This is also a good beer.

Hesket Newmarket Black Sail
Bottle from Tebay, pours black with a settling tan foam and rather light carbonation. A little coffee, dark malt and umami on the nose, roasty and burnt, lightly sweet with hints of coffee, liquorice and chocolate. A slightly tart-sour overtone, and a bit sticky on the finish. Just about OK.

Hesket Newmarket Brim Fell
Bottle from Rheged. Looks and tastes like an old style IPA, which is ok. It's pretty bitter, and lacks the hop flavours I was expecting from the American hops that have been used. That said, it's a decent brew, and one I'd buy again!

Bottled, 500ml from Chestnut House, Pooley Bridge, Cumbria. Clear gold with white head. This is quite a light beer, malt lead, cereals with a note of carbonisation. Sweet grainy notes, some light citrus. It's all a little under-powered but okay.
