Cask at Coopers Tavern, Burton on Trent. Pours a hazy pale straw with a small white head and excellent lacing. Is slow to settle. The aroma features citrus and lemon. In the mouth there is a brief burst of watery sweetness, before it’s quickly replaced by lemon sharpness. There’s also grapefruit and hops (traditional and floral) plus some underlying biscuit crunchiness. Finish is bitter yet fruity, with quite a bit of stickiness. This is excellent – not quite as bitter as Jaipur, but getting there.
