Commercial Description:
The palest malts are bittered and aromatized by a complex addition of a unique blend of hops. English, Czech and American hops mingle throughout the boil to give a heady flowery aroma, and a dry citrus flavour, enhanced by a refreshing degree of bitterness. Despite its complexity this beer is clean and thirst quenching.

A hazy light orange beer with a fine dense head. The aroma is sweet spicy with coriander and grass standing out. The flavor is very hoppy, grassy, and oily. A surprisingly good beer, that I'd categorize as an IPA.

Golden coloured. Nicely hopped aroma of peaches, apricots and some grass. Hoppy flavour with plenty of bitterness. A very pleasant and hoppy brew.

Light yellow color, hazy when you pour the generous yeast from the bottle, little carbonation in body but a big fluffy, white head. Hoppy, floral, if a bit one-dimensional aroma. Very very dry, bit of an astringent, metallic edge that fades a bit, leaving wheat but a longing for something other than bitterness.

Bottle conditioned. Hazy thin amber. Tendrils of orange vines shoot up the nose, nestling warm and spicy under the eyes, pulsating like an Alien larva ready to feed. Soft, juicy and natural mouthfeel as the waters of Pishon and Gihon must have tasted. A hop, skip and dance of young, throbbingly naked yet obscenely chaste, citric sprites leads to an initially watery then briefly bitter finish. Spent on the early desire. [3.4]
Re-rate. Bottle Conditioned, with Nuffield & Duff. Extremely dry. Citric hops and wheat in an English Pale style - a Golden Summer Ale. [3.2]
The Durham Brewery was founded in 1994 by ex-music teachers Steve & Christine Gibbs.
