A robust golden ale, refreshingly hoppy with bittersweet fruity aromas, Piston Broke is a blend of Goldings and Cascade hops that never fails, whatever the weather.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Light amber and clear with a thin white head and generous lacing. Light malty aroma, some brown sugar, bitter exotic fruits and a metallic note. Bittersweet herbal character, a little buttery with a medicinal aftertaste. Soft carbonation, full body. Okay.
