A Manchester bitter - this classic English style ale has had a revamp with some modern brewing techniques. We have introduced amarillo hops to a rich malty body and the results speak for themselves. Lovely and refreshing with a touch of something new.

Can at home in Hackney - sourced from Clapton Craft. Pours mostly clear gold with a frothy, white head. The aroma has some orange peel, very lightly toasted malts, some grains. Light sweet flavour with more grainy malts, faint leafy bitterness, a little earth, leather, citrus peel. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with some further lightly toasted grains, leaves, aged citrus. So so overall.
