Okay if a little pedestrian to bill itself as an IPA.

Cask at Square Bottle, Chester. Pours a slightly hazy golden amber with a somewhat frothy almost white head and good lacing. Mainly malts in the aroma plus some hints of floral hops. In the mouth it is sweet, with a decidedly creamy texture and a little underlying bitterness. Flavour has mixed hops, marmalade and grapefruit with traces of honey and mango coming later leading to a fruity finish. It’s not bad at all – though I’m not sure it’s an IPA.

Deadication beer to the singer Donna Summer, died on this day in 2012. It's very much a summer day here in Blackpool with a great vista from the tower - and this beer is perhaps a little heavier than the day allows, not really befitting the sun and heat but full-bodied with a clear strength and mild fruits. Golden with a creamy head.
