Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy almost white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops and oranges in the aroma. In the mouth it is somewhat bitter from the start, but this increases to dominate. A little underlying sweetness at the start as well, with flavour of floral hops, marmalade and tangerine, plus a hint of grapefruit later on. Finish is decidedly bitter. This is a decent IPA.
