Cask at Cobbett's, Dorking. Aroma is malty with light citrus/stonfruit. Clear amber. Frothy creamy white head. Medium sour. Citrus and quinine. Underlying sweet malts and a buttery streak. Then develops a fruity sweet run. Medium bodied. Creamy slick mothfeel complemented by soft carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Old school IPA. It's enjoyable enough.
