Vague, a bit scattered. Some green and vaguely weedy hop presence, maybe some rind, bitter grass and grain husk, pale malt grains. Has a thinness to it. Head dissipates too quickly. Lacks a little body. Average at best.

So so. Lot of herbal pine, modest bitterness, sun-baked crust, grain husk, dried citrus peel, crackers. Decent condition but not tip top. Alright balance. Drinks OK.

Can from Against The Grain. Milky deep golden body with a thick off-white head. Steady carbonation. Good lacing. Aroma of peach and shortbread. Flavour of orange pith, earth and peach. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel. Soft fizz. Bitter and rustic. Very nice.

People in the town of Rye are currently against the redevelopment of Cyprus Place. I'm not against this amber coloured rye beer, which is quite hoppy, lessening the grittiness that might be found from this special ale. It's flavoursome enough though.

My first ever drink in the Manchester Head Of Steam. Black coloured stout and although the fruit is prominent, chocolate is too, which serves to enhance the sweetness of the latter. Tasty, dense, fuller-bodied and perhaps not the most appealing to those not into the craft scene given it's slightly rich, it's worthy in my opinion.

Can shared. Slight hazy amber with lovely creamy head. Coffee, sweet malts, biscuits, roasted notes, apricot, caramel. Medium sweet and quite bitter. Over medium bodied, bit oily feel. Lovely.
