Cask at Ship Aground, Stafford. Pours a solid gold with medium sized white head and good lacing. There’s a simple aroma of citrus and tangerine. In the mouth it is sweet with a creamy texture with flavours of malts, floral hops, melon and mango, leading to a bitter finish. This is quite nice and decidedly swiggable.
