By far our most popular ale. An aroma of pale malt and hops introduces you to a beautifully hoppy bitter beer, despite the predominant hop character, malt is also evident, fresh and clean tasting.

Pale amber with a frothy off-white head and a slightly hoppy, malty aroma. Bitter and malty, with a hint of lemon zest. My first Isle of Man rate, enjoyed on the ferry (Manannan) before leaving Liverpool!

Pours a clear orange gold colour with a small lasting creamy off white head. Aroma is light cereal malts, a little fruit and hops. A moderately sweet grainy malt flavour, some caramel and fruit. A moderate herbal hop bitterness in the finish. Nothing special.

Clear golden. White head. Very little aroma, slightly malty. Taste is malty fruit, some citrus, bitter hop. Not the tastiest but it does build up as you get through it.
