Bottle. Beer Central, Sheffield. Cloudy, ginger orange. Film of sticky, off white head. The hops come across grassy, pithy, and slightly earthy. There’s a little blackcurrant in there, too. Against that there’s a spicy, biscuit maltiness. Taste is pithy bitter. Little bit of sweet. A light, earthy dryness to it, maybe. Crisp, clean palate, with a zesty punch. Finishes long, moderately bitter, with some of the spice thing showing up in the close. Possibly not a typical APA, but looking at the ingredients, I suspect that was the idea. Very nice.

Cask @ Soup Kitchen, Manchester. I think Piccadilly Tap were also going to be stocking this special brew by 9 Manchester microbreweries who were involved in creating this. Golden with a small creamy head. Tropical fruit hopped and fairly stated in its flavours. There’s a citrus bitterness here too.

Cask at the hanging bat. Pours clear gold with a thin white head. Aromas of cream, caramel, light fruit. Taste is red fruit and more creamy notes. Light sweet finish.
