Stockport Beer Festival 2024. Hazy slightly deeper golden brew with a glow. Gritty-hoppy taste, a little similar in aroma, all coming across fuller-bodied.

Cask @ The Sportsman, Hyde. Copper-gold with a creamy head. A bitter with some fruit notes in both aroma and taste. Not high on spice but has a bit of a kick in the palate.
