Cask at Cloisters, as Little Kiwi Botherer, but the abv was 4.5 so I didn't think it was sufficiently different to add as a new beer. Pours clear golden with a thin white head. Aromas of light tropical fruits. Taste is dry and bitter. Bitter finish.

Cask @ Pilcrow, Manchester. Cloudy blonde with a head. Light textured and pleasantly so in terms of the palate. It's a hoppy ale, but not really aptly named as its lacks character.
