Flower Pots IPA from Flowerpots Brewery

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 7.5
Cask at the Nags Head, Reading. Amber with a thin white head; muted citrus aroma; syrupy and aromatic in the mouth, releasing esters as it warms to give a pear-like fruitiness; then a smooth deep bitterness leaving a bitter citrus peel finish. Deeply satisfying.
