Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours golden brown with a small scummy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma has traditional hops and nuts plus a trace of honeycomb. In the mouth it is basically bitter but with a little underlying sweetness and a creamy texture. Flavour is mainly mixed hops and autumn fruits (mainly mushy apples) with traces of malts and caramel coming later leading to a slightly dry finish. This is decent – packs plenty of punch for its strength.
