A deadication brew going out to LS Lowry, the artist died in this day. Fittingly this is a brew from Manchester. Light pine in both aroma and taste, which lingers, and appeals for it. Crisp and easy enough despite a fair strength.

I always got Dunham Massey and Tatton Park mixed up as a kid. I'm fine now with my Cheshire country parks. Easy but not thin or weak, good tropical notes here. Pretty good low alcohol brew.
