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 Furnace, Derby, Saturday 17th January 2015 Interestingly they had this on keg and on cask dispense I went for the latter (cheaper) Brown in colour with a slim scummy off-white head. Malty and hoppy nose. In the mouth this is an in intriguing mix between malt and hops, very flavoursome hops with a tropical edge to them. Bitterness levels are good but so is the malty backbone, like it, but New World is still better. A6 A4 T7 P4 Ov13 3.4

Cask at The Furnace, Derby, Saturday 17th January 2015 Gold in colour with a slim white head. Lovely hoppy nose, citrussy with a touch of sweet lemon but then mostly grapefruit floods through. Clean, fresh, tasty session beer ending dry. Great stuff. A7 A4 T8 P4 Ov15. 3.8

Cask at The Furnace, Derby, Saturday 17th January 2015 Dark gold/light amber in colour with a slim white head. Sadly this isn’t a patch on the New World the citrussy nose anf flavours are knocked back by a faint butteryness putting a spanner in the works. A5 A4 T4 P2 Ov9 2.4

Cask-conditioned at the Devonshire Cat, Sheffield, 3/12/2014. Clear gold, with a big, lacy, white, head. Massive citrus and tropical fruit character, with some grassy hop kick, balancing cemay malts and a dry finish. Excellent.

Cask at the Wellington, Burmingham. Poured a hazy straw colour with a bubbly broken white head. The aroma is yeast orange citrus. The flavour is light acid citrus with a dry earthy mineral wheat palate and a long bitter finish. Medium bodied with soft carbonation.
