Glorious autumnal colour, richly bittersweet, this is a tribute to the Autumn season of mellow fruitfulness. Add a good blast of zesty hop and the result is as tasty as a ripe apple.

Cask at Ebenezers. Crewe. Pours golden yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. Theres oranges and floral hops in the aroma plus a hint of generic citrus. Floral hops to the fore again in the mouth plus autumn fruits and nuts plus some hints of grapefruit. Fluctuates between bitter and sweet leading to a slightly dry finish. This is a decent hoppy bitter.
