Cask in Cheshire. Old notes. Typical low-alcohol bitter posing as an IPA. Ok malt flavor, some hops coming through. Low key and not very exciting, but nice enough for the low alcohol.

Can, 0.50lm brewed by Faxe. Clear deep golden color with medium frothy white head and poor lacing. Aroma of caramel, grainy malt and alcohol. Taste starts with moderate sweet and spicy malt with some fruity acidic following, warming alcoholic mouthfeel and moderate bitter finish. Medium body, sticky texture and average carbonation in palate. If you wanna get drunk, try it, otherwise, leave it...
