A traditional beekeepers ale, pale yellow, a fruity bitter with an initial sweetness progressing to a complex dry hoppy taste based on an old nineteenth century recipe.Enville Ale is produced using 100% Maris Otter floor malted barley and top fermenting ale yeast. It is processed through an initial very rapid fermentation followed by a priming process using selected honeys which are specially processed (patent pending) and then allowed to secondary ferment before being lagered (stored at cold temperature) for a precise period of time. This process enables the brewery to produce conditioned beer with a controlled yeast count in cask - the result is a traditional cask conditioned beer in which the carbonation has been carefully controlled.

500ml bottle from Hop Vault, Stourbridge, online. Clear gold with small brief fizzy white head. Basic aroma of pale malts, honey, some lemon. Smells a bit like a shandy. Taste is sweet malts, honey, lemonade, dry bitterness. Light and refreshing, best shandy I've had!

[Cask at the Fox Inn, Chaddesley Corbett, Worcs.] A bright yellow pour with a tight cream coloured head; aroma of grains with just a hint of honey; bready body with some honey; then a clean citrus finish. Very pleasant and easy drinking.
