Best bitter, spicy, tropical fruit from the hops, then some bitter marmalade with a definite bitter finish.

Bright clear amber beer, tidy white head. Smooth palate, a little crisp and semi dry. Trace of pale malt. Bitter hops - with a little marmalade and lemon. Finishes semi dry with what feels like infinite bitter linger! Okay if a bit harsh.

Cask at the Earl of Essex, London. Pours clear gold with a strong, white cream head. Nose holds dry straw, dry orange. Light to medium sweet flavor, some dry leaves, grass, toasty pale malts. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Dry, toasty leaf finish, further notes of dry orange. An OK effort at an IPA.

Aroma: Lots of caramel on the nose. Pine and grapefruit.
Appearance: Clear, bright amber body with a generous beige head that slowly fades to nothing. Medium carbonation. Slight lacing.
Taste: Caramel, biscuit and woody flavours dominate. The tropical fruit notes are in there somewhere, but theyโre quite subdued. Finishes with a gentle bitterness.
Palate: Medium body with a soft, oily texture. Light carbonation.
Overall: Not as fruity or tropical as I was anticipating from the description on the bottle, but this is still very tasty. Looking forward to trying more Stringers beers.

Cask gravity at Reading BF 2010. Gold, slight haze, no head. Hoppy aroma. Slight rubber in mouth, bitter finish, with not much flavour. OK. Bitter without a lot of flavour.
