On cask at the Pump House, Brighton.

Pours golden amber with a thin foam crown. Mulchy grain and orange marmalade nose. Almond skin malts and dried orange rind hops with a bit of cedar. Dry flinty finish and an autumn leaf linger.

Brewed to celebrate the Royal Wedding.

Too mulchy and not enough hops to be called an IPA in the modern/US sense.
This is especially disappointing because Ascot take their cues from America and I was expecting a hop bomb.
Still a fine toasty ale, though.
