Cask at Picture House, Stafford. Pours a golden yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. There’s summer fruits in the aroma, and these continue in the mouth, but are soon replaced by floral hops as the dominant force. It’s sweet overall, with herbs and some hints of citrus. Finish is somewhat bitter. Not at all bad.
