Grumbo	3.5 Barnet Regal Cask at the Ale House, Chelmsford. Pours clear dark amber, with a small off-white head. Aroma of malt, hop, caramel, light nut and fruit. Moderate sweetness, medium bittterness. Medium body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. Moderately bitter, malty, fruity finish. A very decent bitter (described on the pump clip as an India Pale Ale). This is a 'traditional' English IPA rather than a modern take on the style (and a lot better than the regular mainstream IPA on offer in so many pubs in the East of England).
