500ml bottle bought at Smaczek, Leicester. Drunk at home. Light golden, clear.any head quickly dissipates. Light hoppy aroma, some grape and tangerine, some gentle malt. Sweet taste, fruit drink with a metallic note. Moreish if artificial. Medium texture body, low to medium carbonation. I like this even though I know I shouldn’t .

Traditional two-room pub a good half hour walk sputheast of the town proper. I used to come here quite a lot in my pre-ratung days, and it feels pretty much the same, spacious with a nice red pub carpet and a few cask beers. The linge is quiet compared to a more vivacious puboic bar with Sky Spirts,a pool table and some Northants skittles. Today the selection wasn't great in quantity but the quality was decent: Three casks from Tim Taylors, Triple fff and Woodfordes including two dark beers.There are a few reasonably good, if short of exciting, pubs in Kettering, and while the Piper may not be worth the special trek out, its a good option if in this area. And the landlady is new so hopefully the beer range will grow. One to watch.

This was until recently a Three Hills bar, and their branding is still everywhere. The bar is staying open and preparing slowly for a post-Three Hills world. Still a fair bit of their stock here but its going fairly fast. Otherwise its a fairly standard craft beer venue, probably about 25-30 seats spread out generously, plus a performance stage, with with about 13 keg tap and a big bottle fridge. Other breweries represented are Patizan, New Bristol and Glasshouse. Rushden is lucky have this place, I wish them the absolute best.
