Cask at Smithfield, Derby. Pours golden amber with minimal scummy off-white head. There’s autumn fruits and citrus in the aroma. In the mouth it is somewhat bitter at the start and this bitterness increases. Flavour has mixed hops, corn and hints of caramel, with traces of tangerine and melon coming later. Bitterness lasts into the slightly dry finish. This is reasonable.
