Tony Wilson once said: “This is Manchester, we do things differently here”. And he was right. Our refreshingly Mancunian pale ale gives ale lovers a similar hop-packed offering to its American equivalents. It's a golden ale that’s made entirely from all-British malt, Liberty and Mount Hood hops. It’s a post-industrial Manchester classic (as Wilson might have put it).

Cask @ Manchester Airport. Pours clear amber, off-white head. Aroma is bready malts, continuing to taste. Typically light body with mild caramel and bready malts. Decent malt-profile for the style. Ok.

Cask at the Rose & Crown, Sandhurst. Pale amber with a loose white head; grainy aroma; thin with a grainy taste, and a very light floral bitterness. Not much better than the bottled version. (6/4/6/3/10=2.9)

Cask pint in La Cracke, Liverpool on 7th Feb 2014. Dry golden ale with a white foaming head. How can anything from Manchester be dry: a fine oxymoron if ever I’ve heard one. Anyway this is a pleasant enough blend of hops and malts with the hops just about winning the flavour stakes in both the nose and taste. Easy session beer with enough about it to have another and another: I couldn’t as I was on a mission to drink different beers that particular evening.
