The brewery: "In the beginning Langton Brewery started at the back of the Bell Inn, East Langton in 1999. Originally, the brewery only intended to supply the pub and the local cricket club over the road. However, people started to really enjoy drinking the beer, and the team rather enjoyed crafting it. Especially after the head brewer came up with a little recipe called Inclined Plane. So it was decided to up production and move Langton Brewery to the idyllic Grange farm at Thorpe Langton, Leicestershire in 2005."
The beer: "A refreshing amber coloured bitter with a light floral finish. The late addition of the Amarillo hop instils a distinct citrus flavour. First brewed in 2004, this multi-award winning beer is named after the canal boat lift operating in the 1900s at the Foxton Locks in Leicestershire."
Very refreshing, though a tad too citrusy for me. Good stuff though. 4.2% A.B.V.
