Keg @ Jack In the Box at Mackie Mayor, Manchester. Golden with a creamy-frothy head. Has a light Helles styling, but is evident enough with perhaps its crispness its best feature.

Red brown colour with lasting head. Aroma and flavour have the mix of caramel malts and syrupy piney hop reminiscent of a West Coast Red IPA

Cask @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Clear copper with a golden-red glow. It's an easy session texture, hoppy and very mild in its red berry notes. This is a fairly standard brew, sessionable, with some dirty sweet-floral notes in its aroma.
