Ian Pinder is drinking a Padley by Thornbridge Brewery at The Bankers Cat
3.4% Session Bitter. From lunchtime. Padley Gorge is a beauty spot in the Peak District! Light caramel and biscuity flavour but with a nice fruity, citrusy hit on the aroma & flavour. Very sessionable bitter but a bit too weak on the ABV…!!
