330ml can from First Chop. Gluten Free. Orangey gold colour, white foam head and aroma of citric woody hop. Taste is malt, caramel, fruity, citrus, wood, with tangy hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry bitter finish. Quite drinkable.

Cask @ Cask, Manchester. Very mildly hazy golden with a creamy head. Fruity-hoppy in both aroma and taste, it has a session strength and is very palatable for it. Cost of Living crisis kicking in with this 4% effort though - weighing in at nearly £5 a pint, which at the time of writing is 'unseen before' in the capital of the North for this hand pulled strength.
