Cask at Standing Order, Derby – as Jay IPA. Pours golden amber with a small off-white head and good lacing. Aroma is not very strong, but there’s floral hops and citrus in there. There’s a whole dollop of bitterness in the mouth at first, but some underlying sweetness soon comes through. Overall it’s juicy with traditional hops and summer fruits plus spicy hints leading to a dry finish. Takes a bit off getting used to but this is a lovely old style bitter IPA.
