Cask at the Raven, Crewe (which may not be listed in RB yet – be patient !). Pours a hazy golden amber with a small white head and good lacing. Malts and a little hoppiness in the aroma. There’s a brief initial sweetness in the mouth (with summer fruits) before strongly bitter traditional hops kick in. A little citrus and some pepper too. Finish is bitter and fairly dry. This is a really good traditional Enmglish style IPA (and not a bitter by any stretch of the imagination).
