17th Aug 2017. Cask pint from the Crown Inn, Oakengates: sat in the sun trap out back of the pub. Clear amber pour, white head. Fruity in nature, this had a decent orange/tropical fruit aroma and taste, leaning towards the sweeter end of the citrus flavours. The sun helped to brighten the day and my thoughts on this beer.
