Cask at Greyhound, Stafford. Pours a golden amber with a small off-white head and good lacing. Only a weak aroma – hints of floral hops and oranges. In the mouth it starts off briefly sweet with hints of corn and butter, but quickly the bitterness of floral and traditional hops comes to the fore and gradually increases to dominate. Flavour has marmalade and ginger as well plus hints of cloves and nutmeg leading to a dry and bitter finish. This is rather nice – a good old fashioned IPA.
