Strong and pale with plenty of American hops, in the style of a west coast IPA. The Butts refers to the local quarry and the address of the brewery.

Cask at Petersgate Tap, Stockport. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a sizeable white head and good lacing. Thereโs floral hops and some citrus in the aroma. In the mouth it is sweet and yeasty. Hops are there from the start, and it quickly becomes quite intensely bitter with traditional hops and lemongrass. Leading to a massively dry finish. This is very good indeed โ plenty of the old school hoppiness that I like.

On cask at Old Poetโs Corner, Ashover - Hazy gold with slight head. Big fruity aroma, peachy then just a touch grainy, malty on drinking. The hops show through, quite citrusy, sharp, the body remains a touch thin perhaps but still pretty drinkable. Still okay mind you.
