The Brewery's Mild. Brewed to 3.5% ABV, it is a light Yorkshire ale with delicate hop flavours balanced by underlying malt sweetness. A rare example of the Pennine light mild style.

Presentation: Sampled from one of four ever-rotating Guest Beers on sale at the Wakefield Labour Club (a.k.a. The Red Shed) during a recent trip back home to England. One of two Eastwood and Sanders brews on sale on the night we returned from our Annual Belgium Trip.
Appearance: Pale golden body with a deliciously creamy toothpaste white head which shines.
Nose: Pale malts with a hint of hops. A slight hint of lemon, but a low key nose overall that doesnt upset much. Takes a while to pull in the aromas.
Taste: Light entrance with a classic Pale Mild Ale feel from start to finish. Gentle sweet malts in the background balance perfectly with a refreshing mountain water feel and a crystal clean low hop strata. Lovely stuff.
Mouthfeel: Very clean and refreshingly crisp, the body is delicate, light but never thin or wanting for the style or tastes presented.
Drinkability: A true Session brew that just about any one could manage a Gallon of, I know I could drink this one all afternoon.
Overall: A freshly tapped Cask of Eastwood and Sanders is always a treat. The First Light is brewed in a style known as Pennine Light, a local Pale Mild Ale of sorts. Damn tasty stuff and thoroughly enjoyable.
