Redemption Urban Dusk

Drinker Beer Festival March 2010

ABV: 4.6%
Origin: 7, England
Website: http://urbanbrewer.blogspot.com/

Brewery, 7 0XL

Andy Moffat’s Brewery in Edmonton is about as new generation as new generation brewers can get, having first entered revenue earning service in January this year (2010). A former bond trader and home brewer, Andy opted for a mid-life career change last autumn, investing in a plant that was formerly at Slaters in Stafford. This is one of his two launch beers, both of which have made an excellent impression on local drinkers and are already fixtures in a few pubs.

The poetically named Urban Dusk, a chestnut brown hybrid that teeters between a strongish mild and a dark bitter, was on tap at the Wenlock Arms in Islington when I hosted a beer there in February, and nearly everyone attending was on the stuff when they weren’t sampling my bottles. It was also to be enjoyed alongside the products of several other new micros at the London Drinker beer festival in early March.

My sample came with a slight bubbly white head and a leafy and slightly artichokey chocolate and fruit aroma. A sweetish fruity finish had a bite of roast giving an edge to nutty sappy malt, with more artichokes. Herbs and brown sugar rounded out a tangy, chewy finish to a very tasty and very promising beer with a very individual character.
