Cask at Brewery Tap, Chester. Pours a pale straw with a small off-white head. Theres some indeterminate hops in the aroma, together with hints of honey. In the mouth it is sweet and light with a creamy texture. Dominant flavour is honey with some traditional hops plus traces of grass and apples. The finish is quite sweet – but not overly so. Not really my cup of tea, but not bad at all.

Cask at Brewery Tap, Chester. Pours a golden amber with a medium sized off-white head. Slow to settle but does so eventually. The aroma is fruity, mainly tangerine, with some malty notes too. It’d fruity in the mouth as well with oranges, mango, quince and a dollop of floral hops too. Some hints of aniseed and other spicess eventually as well. Finish is fruity with a spicy edge. This is nice – citrus led but well balanced.

Cask at Brewery Tap, Chester. – as Spitting Feathers Empire IPA Pours a golden amber with a small off-white head and good lacing. Malts and hops vie for attention in the aroma. In the mouth it starts off sweet and then bitter floral hops take over, with some autumn fruits and a creamy texture. Malts come back again in the finish. This is a decent old-school IPA.

Hand-pulled pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates on 20th July 2022. Clean golden body, white topping. Citrus front to the nose and taste, decent malt backbone, but it's all about the citrussy hops really.

Hand-pulled pint at The Crown Inn, Oakengates Shropshire on 27th May 2022. Light golden body, white head. Citrus front with Lemons to the fore, didn't even notice any 'ginger', not mentioned on the pump-clip and only found out about it when coming onto RateBeer; maybe they've changed the recipe? Anyway it was fine.
