Can from the brewery online and drunk at home. Hazy amber colour lasting white head. Pink grapefruit American hop aroma. A little piney. A decent apa. Some bitterness on the finish. a little light in malt backbone. hops are fine but maybe a little harsh on the finish. very drying in mouth. fully attenuated. perhaps needs a little more residual sweetness to have good drinkability.

Cask at the Brink, Manchester. Pours cloudy orange, medium white head. Malty, sweet, somewhat fruity, bitterish finish. Lacking hoppiness, not sure if it's the condition or the beer itself. Medium bodied.

Cask @ Molly House, Manchester. Golden with a thin head. Its nose is a little ordinary, but it has an identifiably pal ale texture, with a light fruity dryness, although it could have been a lot crisper served.
