3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask handpull at Malt Shovel Northampton. Not bad. 8 rates on a Sunday evening in a new town. Pale gold thin white head. Its a little ascetic. Soft in mouth. Its not a great golden ale. Just lacking a bit of oomph. No real bad flavours though. An ok golden ale with a touch of sour grapefruit which is quite interesting. I want to get to the bottle of lambic though. Cantillon for less than 4 quid.
