Cask at Furnace, Derby (i.e. brewery tap). Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with a small white head and good lacing. The nose has peaches and floral hops. In the mouth the texture is creamy, and flavours predominantly fruit based. Oranges and peaches with floral hops and some malty sweetness. The finish is slightly bitter. A nice little thirst quencher – spongey !
