Cask at Dragon Inn, Worcester. Pours golden yellow with a small frothy almost white head and good lacing. There’s citrus, kiwi and lemongrass in the aroma. In the mouth it is strongly bitter, but with a little underlying sweetness too. The first flavour to hit is gooseberries followed by grassy hops and hints of citrus which increase rapidly. Some tropical fruits come through later leading to a dry finish. This is reasonable but too much citrus for my taste. Also, I would call it an IPA rather than any sort of bitter.

500ml bottle from Hop Vault, Stourbridge, online. Mostly clear gold, with moderate sized white head, nice retention and lacing. Aroma of caramel, sweetness, touch of bread, pear, citrus peel. Taste is sweet, tangy and bitter. Quite malty to begin with then fruity hops come in, a bit zesty and grassy in the finish. Moderate body and carbonation work ok. I like this.
