maeib (4106), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England May 1, 2004 Cask conditioned - no sparkler Malt Shovel Northampton BF. Golden coloured very flat looking beer. No aroma of note and a slight buttery taste. This beer has been sampled before and was much hoppier. I think this beer needs a swan neck to allow its full character to come through.
