Cask @ Smithfield Market Tavern, Manchester. Golden and hoppy with a creamy-frothy head. It's not too bitter at all, but quite simple in its design.

Keg at the Knott Bar, Manchester. Light golden, hazy with a small ring of white head. Lemon drop aroma with spicy herbal savoury character. Sour sucking-on-a-lemon taste, absolute mouth-puckerer. This wanes slightly, allowing light basil notes do give an almost smoky herbal flavour at the long finish. This is all about the lemon though. Medium carbonation. Powerful beer.

Keg at Jack In The Box, Manchester. Fuller hazy golden with a good sourness. Its basil makes this very herbal and it has a fizziness.
