Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours golden amber with minimal off-white head. The aroma has citrus and some hints of marmalade. In the mouth it starts out slightly sweet with malts and autumn fruits and some underlying floral hops. After a while it becomes quite bitter with grapefruit flavour leading to a slightly sticky finish with plenty of citrus. It’s OK.

Cask @ Flying Horse Hotel, Rochdale. Slightly deeper golden with a head. Full-bodied heavy hoppy taste and mouthfeel, a tad metallic, and not particularly flavoursome.
