Cask at the Crown Inn, Pewsey. Apparently only enough hops available for a single brew each year, and just my luck that’s they’re putting it on as I walk through the door. It poured pale amber with a scummy white head, leaving lots of lacing on the glass; the aroma is lightly spiced; in the mouth there are tropical fruit and citrus flavours with a rounded bitterness; the finish is slight metallic, in a spinachy sort of way, with lingering honey ending and a touch of spice. A great beer, sampled in the perfect conditions of a sunny evening in the garden of an English pub.
