Manchester beers tasting at Tokyo Midtown. Pours hazy yellow golden, real hazy, not much foam. Nose has fresh citrus, dank, hop dust and lots of orange, extra serving of tropical fruits. Hop dust in the taste, citrus and some more direct bitterness. Soft tropical fruit finish. Another great one.

Very heady, lots of white gummy bears, white grapefruits with high alpha acid. The mouth isn't as interesting as the nose. Modest bitterness. Ok

Aroma is nice juicy fruits, mosaic, canyon, leafy citrus, wheat with a hint of vanilla. Nice mixed hop. Flavour is composed of soft white bready malts and wheat, spicy lemon, cumquat, tropical , mellow dank. Palate is semi sweet, lovely mellow massaging carbonation. Xolid stuff.

Can. Very hazy gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry and has a fine minerally crispness. Thin malts, sweetish. Hops bring a light and spicy bitter orange and grapefruit. Light pine and a whisper of hop skunk. Crisp dry finish. Snappy and very nicely done.

Can from Cork & Cask. Murky golden body with a medium white head. No visible carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of tangerine, cucumber and kiwi fruit. Flavour of grass and grapefruit. Medium body with a smooth texture. Light fizz. Fruity and delicious. Cloudwater do pale hoppy beers so well. I'd love to see them do a Black IPA series.
