A very pale hoppy bitter. Full hop aroma with a crisp fruity taste followed by a smooth bitter finish. The first Millstone beer to be released, its name derived from Mossley’s location where the three counties of Cheshire, Lancashire and Yorkshire meet.

Handpull cask at the Salmon, Leicester. Light gold and clear with a small white head on top. Bready aroma, a touch of marmalade. Mostly sweet taste at first, a bit grainy, followed by intense hoppy bitterness. Grapefruit oil notes on the finish, some lemon iced tea. Light body, good carbonation for cask. Decent if a bit dull.

On cask at Stalybridge Buffet Bar October 19, 2013 - A hazy yellow body, bit of a head, but not much. Nose is a grassy mix of odd fruits, picking out pineapple and perhaps kiwi. Taste has a metallic kick to it, not what I’d expected, but still a bit disappointing.

Cask @ Stalybridge Buffet Bar, Staylbridge rail station. Superb golden ale, not full-bodied, but full of flavour and a great fruity finish.

Cask-conditioned at the Three Judges, Glasgow 17/06/10. Gold with a slight white head. Hoppy, tropical fruit and pine aroma with some sweetness. Plenty of citrus fruit in the flavour, with grapefruit and orange, and also a touch of pineapple, leading to a dry finish. Good.

Cask at Marble Arch Inn, Manchester. A hazy light golden beer with a lazing off-white head. The aroma has notes of hops - lending it a light flowery note too. The flavor is sweet hoppy combined with lighter notes of flowers. The body is light.

Cask at the Dragon, Worcester 03-03-07. Very pale in colour, almost straw coloured. Wonderfully fresh citric nose which led onto a really fresh, juicy, crispy beer. Grapefruit was in abundance here in this superb beer, probably my beer of the day!
