Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours a cloudy golden orange with a small off-white head. The aroma has herbs and hints if malts and gentle spices. In the mouth it is quite sweet with a somewhat watery texture, Flavour has floral herbs, lemongrass and coriander plus hints of other spices. Later on there are traces of orange and citrus as well, leading to a delicately spiced finish. This is a decent unusual beer though it could have done with a bit more spice.
