Real ale review: Nook of Pendle, Reedley Hallows Brewery

Nook of Pendle is their new brand, and will no doubt prove as popular as their other four core beers.

I sampled the new beer at the brewery on the Rossendale Road Industrial Estate – and these are my tasting notes.

Nook of Pendle is a strong ale, with a 5% ABV.

Amber in colour, it’s a medium bodied, smooth and warming tipple. It pours with a white fluffy head and has a dried fruit (raisins) and malty aroma.

The flavour has a moderate, dried fruity sweetness and a subtle hint of spice. There’s a soft mouthfeel to this flavoursome beer, leading to a lightly hopped, fruity smooth finish.

Nook of Pendle is now available, and being rolled out to pubs and clubs in the locality.
