Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel Northampton. A golden beer with a whitish head and lacing. The aroma is subdued but pretty pleasant with hints of hop and fruity malts. The taste has some peachy notes. Some light flavours but all nicely balanced and making for what would be an easy beer to have a session on.

Cask handpull at the altar. Golden amber with a creamy head of suds. Urinal nose with great big gust of sulphur. Mellow, orange-accented sessions with a caramel smoothness and a sprinkle of oats. Some softly raspberryish notes emerging as it warms. Even CE’s ’malt-driven’ bitters are tangily hopped. Quality, flavour-packed sessions.
