Cask at Crewe Dog, Crewe. Pours a slightly hazy golden yellow with minimal almost white head. Only a vague arma of malts and fruits. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy with summer fruits to the fore plus malts and hints of peaches. Later on there are traces of floral hops too, leadng to a slightly fruity finish. It’s reasonable, if somewhat bland.
