A 500ml bottle with a BB of Oct 2012. Bought at an English Heritage shop. Described on the label as a lager-style beer and a pale ale; conditioned with live yeast. The name originates from the tale of a ghostly milkmaid who is sometimes seen in the courtyard of Pinchinthorpe hall, where the brewery is located.
Poured into a tulip pint glass. A hazy pale honey colour with good carbonation and plentiful sediment. Forms a huge head of creamy white foam with excellent retention - lasts for ages before eventually reducing to a thick surface layer. Aroma of light malt with a dominant yeasty character; dry and earthy. A faint whiff of hops and a slightly sour, vinous quality.
Tastes of light malt with a yeasty flavour and a dry finish. Notes of tart yeast esters and a hint of solvent upon swallowing. Little bitterness to speak of, and a very subtle citrus aroma in the background. Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly, but with a dry, powdery sensation. Coats the palate. Rather astringent. Aftertaste of earthy, doughy yeast.
Unusual - a live, lager-style brew from North Yorkshire. The label doesn't explain the production process in detail or explicitly state that this is a lager, so I filed it under pale ale. It seems well made but very yeasty and dry; the lack of malt or hop flavours make it somewhat one-dimensional. Perhaps the yeast notes increase over time (I bought this a while ago). Anyway, it's OK but nothing special.
