Drinking this in a bird-free Wetherspoon garden complete with netting - mainly to stop the seagulls. Doesn't stop any potential bird dropping something this way though. Acorn do these single hop IPA's so well with plenty of strength but still allow it's hoppy character to come through. Deep tasting one.

Cask at Square Bottle, Chester. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a somewhat frothy almost white head and good lacing. Mainly malts in the aroma plus some hints of floral hops. In the mouth it is sweet, with a decidedly creamy texture and a little underlying bitterness. Flavour has mixed hops, marmalade and grapefruit with traces of honey and mango coming later leading to a fruity finish. It’s not bad at all – though I’m not sure it’s an IPA.
