Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a medium sized white head and good lacing. The aroma is a mix of bubblegum, yeast and floral hops. In the mouth it is initially slightly sweet with malts and yeast but some bitterness soon creeps in, alogn with flavour of toast, autumn fruits and floral hops plus a hint of pears. Finish is slightly dry. This is a very interesting, unusual beer. Not quite my cup of tea, but I can appreciate it not being run of the mill.
