With a palate that is fresh, piercing and focused, complemented by soft malt overtones and pronounced citrus flavours. A strong focus of taut, lemony, grapefruit on the finish which is balanced by a dry bitterness.

Cask in Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford Pours a golden yellow with a small white head and excellent lacing. Clear, but is slow to settle. A positive nose of lemon and hops together. Citrus to the fore in the mouth, with lemon and grapefruit predominating. Less predictably, a definite hint of cracker biscuits ! Texture is somewhat watery, with a fruity finish. OK, but too citrussy for my taste.
