(Cask at City Arms, Manchester, 27 July) Colour is golden amber with a thick white head. Nose is fruity with mandarin, orange and apricots. Same goes for the taste: fruity with orange, mandarin and apricots. Starts a bit sweet, turns drier with a spicy, flowery hop character in the finish. Balanced bitterness. Refreshing.
