Cask at Smithfield, Derby (as Sigilaria IPA). Pours golden amber with a small foamy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma has floral hops and tropical fruit – plus a hint of cloves. In the mouth it is bitter hops which dominate and it is also slightly juicy. Flavours too of pine and oranges with hints of lime and tropical fruit coming through later. Finish is dry and a little sticky. This is a really nice old school IPA.
