Cask at Creaky Floorboard, Derby. Pours lemon yellow with no discernable head. Aroma is not pronounced, but is of grape juice. In the mouth the texture is creamy with floral flavours to the fore – elderflower and grape. However, the further into the glass you get, the hoppier it becomes. All leading to a dry finish. A session IPA? Not hoppy enough in my opinion.

Handpull cask at the Creaky Floorboard, Derby. Light gold and clear with a smattering of white head. Smells of white grape juice. Sweet taste with a malty character, more vinous notes. Lemongrass and more white grape. Some bitterness on the finish. Lightly carbonated. Good stuff.
