CHESHIRE VALLEY ~  ESB
(unfiltered)

My local was lucky enough to get a keg of unfiltered ESB. Sampled on draught the beer poured a hazy honey golden amber colour with sudsy bubbles, much like you find on a cask pull. The bubbles quickly receded leaving light lacing. The nose has notes of floral English hops, hint of piney hops, bready malts, caramel, touch of citrus and a subtle fruitiness. Taste much as would be expected from the nose. The toasted caramel malts are nicely balanced with floral hop bitterness. Notes of delicate fruits, spice and nuts are also present. The carbonation is soft and the body is medium. The brew is chocked full of flavour, easily quaffable and because of its ABV very sessionable too. A proper English Ale.

GINGER LIME CREAM ALE ~ CHESHIRE VALLEY BREWING COMPANY

The ginger and lime go remarkably well together. The fresh ginger gives a warming kick, the lime helps cut the ginger and gives its own citrus flavour. Loved the gingery flavour at first, but found it a little overbearing as I finished the pint. Nice creamy mouth-feel. An interesting beer, worth trying.
