On tap (cask) at Bankers Vaults, Stockport Monday 13th October 2925 after a very nice couple of hours in Stockport with Keef Mullin and son Carl. Pours mid gold with small/medium creamy textured white head. The nose is lightly fruity aroma and there's a background hoppiness. Mouthfeel very soft, creamy, light easy drinking fruitiness, yeah it's fine, it's a pleasant easy drinker if a touch safe.
