Cask @ Jack In The Box, Manchester. Clear golden with a head. The elderflower is light but evident in both aroma and taste amongst a general hoppiness.

Cask @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Dark golden with a glow to proceedings, and a head. Crisp enough in the palate although its strength gives it a notable depth. Hoppy brew.

Cask @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Extremely dark red with a creamy-frothy head. Quite hoppy for a 'mild', so not quite a typical one, but quite interesting for it with some dryness.

Cask @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. A dark ruby colour as in its name, clear too with a good head. It has a malty sweet aroma and taste, with a graininess in the mix.

Cask @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Golden with a creamy head. Its honey is by no means stated in flavour, but it certainly impacts its texture giving it a lovely smoothness.

Cask @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Deeper golden coloured with a head. Full-bodied hoppy brew, perhaps understated but some mild bready notes compliment a hint of bubblegum fruitiness.
