Cask at The Stockbridge Tap. Hazy golden body with a thick off-white head. Excellent lacing. Soft fruity aroma - peach, apricot and mango. Flavour is bitter and fruity - underripe mango and pineapple. The bitterness isn’t overly astringent, though, it’s nice and soft. Medium body with an oily texture. Light carbonation prickle. A hoppy, bitter Pale Ale.
Earlier Rating: 7/10/2012 Total Score: 3.1
Aroma: Musty hops and a little creamy..
Appearance: Clear golden body with a small, creamy white head. No visible carbonation. Outstanding lacing.
Taste: Very tart. Sharp lemon and lime flavours. Tangy and hoppy with a dry, bitter finish.
Palate: Smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Medium body. Flat carbonation.
Overall: Lovely ale, though not the most easy drinking because of the tart (nearly sour) citrus flavours. Lots of character.
