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.

Handpull cask at the Two-Tailed Lion, Leicester. Brownish gold, hazy with a very loose white head. Tropical fruit aroma, some light vinegar notes, some soap. Tastes better than it smells, with light bitter hop notes, some tannic tea and perfumed flower. Ultra-bitter hop on the long finish. A bit messy, a shiny have had better although it's good enough.

Can (5.5%) bought from the Real Ale Classroom, drunk at home. Dark gold, hazy, flat. Lots of creamy fruit notes in the aroma. Frozen apricot yoghurt with strong vanilla bean. Sweet taste, lots of lactose. The balance is just right, any more and it would be a bit sickly. More vanilla in the finish, With a touch of carbonation. No surprises here, a basic but extremely delicious milkshake IPA.
