Cask at Smithfield, Derby. This turned out to have distinct tropical leanings. Poured a cloudy lemon yellow with mnimal scummy white head. Pineapple and grapefruit in the aroma. In the mouth there are some floral hops and plenty of tropicxal fruit, pineapple, mango and lychee. Finish has sticky citrus. It’s OK.
