Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a minimal frothy almost white head. Aroma is mainly floral hops plus traces of cabbage (in a good way) and smoke. In the mouth there is a brief initial burst of sweetness before that is swamped by intense bitter hoppiness. The hops do subside gradually allowing some other trace flavours through later – grains, honey and tropical fruit. Finish is decidedly dry. This is very good – what a hoppy beer should taste like. Also, I would class this as a session IPA, not a golden ale.
