Cask conditioned - handpump - Malt Shovel Northampton. A copper coloured bitter with a citrus hop aroma. The taste is also reasonably hoppy with sharp lemon notes. A nice enough drink.

Hand pulled at the Old Joint Stock, Birmingham. This is confusing - Lea has rightly entered this as a Bitter, cos that’s what they call it, but it’s an archetypal Golden/Blond: where does one become the other?? Anyway... this is another of Beowulf’s Golden beers, all with sharing a number of characteristics: dry hops, sticky mouthfeel, some fruit and floral notes. This is one of the better examples - pretty clean and crisp, with nice dryness on the finish, and good balance. Refreshing and flavoursome.

Golden with a small white head. Aromas are grain and lemon. Flavours are dry and hoppy with citrus notes. There are some floral hops on the finish. A nice dry hoppy bitter.
