On cask at the Standing Order. Appearance - amber with a decent head. Nose - elusive dry and malty. Taste - toffee and astringent malt. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that is a wee bit astringent. Overall - a bit too gnarly this one.

Cask @ The Albert, Hebden Bridge. Copper with a small head. Strong but still retains a very palatable texture. There’s some malts in its nose which are slightly metallic, but has a more crispy malty taste.

Cask @ Abel Heywood, Manchester. Clear dark red in colour with a thick frothy head. As a new pub I think I got a new staff member pouring it not too well. However there’s some roasted malt in its nose, and a light sweetness that’s enjoyable however it’s a touch on the thin side.
