A delicious golden IPA brewed with Derek in mind. Fortunate enough to have spent his whole life in Wincle, Derek counts himself as blessed ... and with the view of a brewery quite literally on his doorstep who can disagree?

Bottle picked up in Buxton by my Dad. Pleasent clear marmalade amber. Thick frothy foamy white head has quite a chunky appearance. Aroma has light citrus, light spice and a more enthusive malty streak. Bitter. Peppery. Quinine. Citrus which has a touch of sweetness. Underlying malts are less evident in the flavour than in the aroma. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Flat-soft carbonation. Long dry somewhat astringent finish. Pleasent enough old school stuff.

Cask @ Porters Ale House, Macclesfield. A very malty light blonde ale with a small head. Fairly crisp, not but not much flavour.
