Little Ships (3%) is the latest offering from Shepherd Neame's Cask Club. Light, sessionable and smooth, this special beer has been brewed using a 1940s recipe from the archives to commemorate the 85th anniversary of Operation Dynamo (the evacuation of Dunkirk).
This beer brings together the soft sweetness of golden malts with a delicate fruitiness that nods to sun-ripened orchard fruits. The traditional East Kent Goldings and Fuggles hops lend a familiar grounding, adding a subtle earthy, floral counterpoint that balances the beer well without becoming overly sweet.
Designed for effortless enjoyment, it’s the perfect pint for sunny afternoons in an inviting pub garden, or an easy companion to food, offering refreshment without overwhelming the palate.

Cask handpull at King's Head Hythe. Clear amber brown colour. Lasting beige head. Nutty malty aroma a little musty maybe. It's a very light bitter. Odd really . Yes some malt very light hop. Almost mild like. A light mild. OK. Good condition
