3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
Cask, The Cow and Plough, Stoughton. Golden brown with a small head. Aromas are sweet caramel malts with tea and soft spices. Flavours are sweet toffee and caramel malts with soft citrus. Dry tea and prickly, bitter hops on the finish. Not an IPA.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Cask conditioned at The Fox, Burwell, Cambs. Amber with white head. Surprisingly for a so called IPA this was full of toffee, butterscotch notes, sweet and frankly as far from an IPA as you could expect to get. Cardboard on the finish.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Cask Handpump at The Wellington, Birmingham. I really can’t see how this is an IPA. Amber-brown with a short head. Slight sweet toffee scent, very sweet with tangerines in the mouth; maybe also a hint of honey. Overall, I found this a bit too sickly for my taste.
