Cask conditioned Handpump Cordwainer Northampton. A golden beer with a whitish head. Sweet and yeasty throughout. Hints of lemon. Attempts at citrussy flavours. A reasonable taste but so ordinary, and not Christmassy in any way.

Very malty mashy aroma. Simple malty taste. Adequate boring bitter. Unfortunately it’s sparklered, which did it no favours at all.
