Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. There’s floral hops and citrus in the aroma. In the mouth it starts off mainly sweet but with a little bitterness which gradually increases to eventually dominate. Flavour starts off as traditional hops, malts, biscuits and marmalade, but others come through to fundamentally alter the taste – ginger, lemon and citrus. Finish is quite dry. This is decent – I like the way it changes character.
