Cask at Nags Head, Mickleover. Pours golden amber with a small scummy off-white head and good lacing. Fruity hops to the fore in the aroma plus some hints of mango. In the mouth it is decidedly sweet but with a touch of bitterness lurking underneath. Traditional hops and passion fruit in the flavour – but later on malts and biscuits become evident plus some hints of tropical fruits. Finish is slightly dry with bitterness more evident. This is quite decent and eminently swiggable.
