500ml bottle from The MicroBar in Manchester. Golden-brown coloured body. Beige, patchy surface. Spotty lacing. Fruity hops to the nose alongside notes of toffee. Malt-fruity taste with leafs, caramel and a little bite of liquorice. Moderate bitter end. Fine version of the Brit bitter style (shared with Finn on the train from Manchester to York, 26.01.2013).
