500ml bottle from Booth’s, Knutsford. I haven’t had this since being on a train between Edinburgh and Falkirk 6 years ago. Beautiful clear chestnut colour with thick beige head. Slightly malty, mineral flavour. Decent session hop on finish. It’s a decent session bitter enough rounded dryish malt and good hop that balances out the hop. Fine. Some candy sugar too.
