Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours golden yellow with a medium sized foamy almost white head and good lacing. The aroma has malts, corn and lime marmalade. In the mouth it is sweet and juicy to start with but with some underlying bitterness which gradually increases to become dominant. Flavour has floral hops, malts and biscuits with citrus and hints of mango coming through later. Bitterness lasts into the slightly sticky finish. This is decent.
