Keg @ Knott Bar, Manchester. Hazy amber-orange with a thin head and an aroma of tropical juice. It's similar in taste and this juiciness hides its strength well.

Handpull cask at Broood, Leicester. Mid- to dark brown, very translucent with a small bit of cream-coloured head. Ginger aroma with cherry and light malty notes. Taste is sweet and overpowered by ginger. Weak body, but the chocolate fudge notes in the aftertaste make up for it. I like the beer, and for me the ginger really works, however I suspect that there may be a somewhat dull porter lurking beneath.

Keg @ Microbar, Manchester. Yellow-gold with a small head. It has grapefruit in both aroma and taste, with nothing too citric or bitter about this.

Keg @ Microbar, Manchester. Brown with a slightly off-white creamy head. The ginger within is light, and there's not a huge amount of 'porter' character to be found, but it's a pleasant enough dark ale.

Keg @ Knott Bar, Manchester. Black with a small off-white head. Its strength is very evident amongst its roasted malts, in what is a mildly gritty tasting milk stout in both texture and taste.
