3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Cask Conditioned Handpump Wig & Pen Northampton. A light golden beer with a white head and lacing. Decent hops in the nose. I thought US of some description but not surprised they’re galaxy. Sweet, hoppy and with house yeast in the mouth. These struggle a little to work perfectly, but it’s still a flavoursome characterful effort.
