As sports bars go, this is very good. Definitely not hanging round till the ingerlund match though. Beer is a good , bitter citrus pale.

Liverpool FC's training ground has a complimentary quote from Johan Cruyff written on its wall, from after a match he played against them. Drinking this whilst watching them against PSG, although I have no love for them. Golden, decent body but soft in texture so quite easy. Hopped with light sweet tropical fruit notes in both aroma and taste.

Cask (gravity) at Alexandra, Derby. Pours a very dark reddish-brown with no head whatsoever. The aroma is bland and sweet with malts and a hint of nuts. In the mouth it is sweet and somewhat watery. Flavour has liquorice, malts and gravy with traces of alcoholic strength. Hints of lactose and cola later. Finish is slightly dry. Somewhat disappointing.
