Cask at Telfords Warehouse, Chester. Pours golden yellow with a small foamy off-white head and good lacing. Not much of an aroma – just some hints of floral hops. In the mouth it is sweet, but with sour undertones. Flavour has mango, marmalade and floral hops, plus some herbal traces. Finish is quite bitter and slightly dry. It’s not bad, if somewhat bland.
