The Slipway was the first real ale to be brewed in The Captain Cook Microbrewery. With a fairly light appearance it has an initial sharp taste, followed by a hoppy aftertaste.

Smallish offwhite head. Clear pale amber body with carbonation. Light strawy wooden aroma with earthy herbal notes. Dry-sweet floral gooseberry taste with strawy earthy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, fizzy mouthfeel. Dryish earthy strawy aftertaste with floral citric notes. Nice, drinkable, with a good bit of flavour. (0.5l bottle, from Clarke’s, Whitby.)

Cask at Bricklayers Arms Yorskhire Festival 09. Buttery/caramelly diacetyl on aroma. OK in mouth, decent hop on finish. Butter goes through it. Rest of beer is a decent bitter. Proper bitterness on finish. Get rid of the diacetyl and this would be pretty good.
