Description
Shiny was established in 2012, as a small scale operation, brewing in Derby mainly for its brew pub. Now based in the beautiful village of Little Eaton, just outside of Derby. The brewery is based in the centre of the village and has a taproom which features all Shiny’s new beers and one off pilots. Our beer story began with untraditional highly hopped cask beer and now has evolved into brewing a range of cask, keg and cans, the ethos is still the same brew beers we love to drink which means lots of hops! All beers are unfined and a good number of our core range is certified Gluten Free.

Cask at the Head of Steam, Sheffield. Poured a hazy golden colour with a lasting frothy white head. The aroma is grainy malt, zesty tropical citrus fruits. The flavour is moderate sweet and bitter, with a crisp, juicy citrus, plastic floral, hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Pours a deep, dark brown, almost black, with a lovely creamy tan head, and a sweet malt aroma with milk chocolate and a hint of vanilla. Smooth and creamy with a great bittersweet balance of milk chocolate, lightly roasted malt and dry bitterness that lasts into the finish

Can picked up from Shiny Tap Little Eaton, Derbyshire and consumed at mum and Keiths, Kempsey, Worcestershire Wednesday 6th October 2021. Pours light gold, excellent clarity with a white head. This has an off flavour that I am trying to determine, however it's not great and ruining this for me. Rare that I don't like a Shiny beer but this is one. *Just read that it has Kaffir and something else in it but still think that there is a flaw in this.
