Cask at Brewery Tap (National Brewery Centre), Burton on Trent. Pours a bright golden amber with a small off-white head and good lacing. There’s malts, nuts and corn in the aroma plus just a trace of traditional hops. In the mouth the first flavour to hit the taste buds is chunky marmalade, very quickly followed by old school hops and autumn fruits. Maybe a little pumpkin in there too. Finish is quite bitter. Not a world beater – but a decent beer.
