Cask at Hops, Crewe. Pours “bitter brown” with a small scummy off-white head and good lacing. The aroma is mainly malts with just a trace of traditional hops. In the mouth it is somewhere between sweet and bitter with a creamy texture. Traditional hops and malts in the flavour with marmalade and hints of ginger coming later. Finish is slightly dry. This is on the decent side of reasonable !
