My local CAMRA group gave me a badge at the last festival they held, but I've never worn it. This badge has a lot more depth than its percentage suggests, it's very sessionable for it. Light citrus is available in both aroma and taste, transfering as dryish grapefruit, without much of a citric bitterness about it.

A taster for what could be considered a prototype for future brews. Pinkish-red coloured brew. It's hoppy and quite a sweet red-ale with sugars.

Not my first outdoor drink of the year, but in the warmest weather so far, so this crisp cold pour stout feels good going down the palate. Mild roasted notes offer up a hint of sweetness.

I was told the two brewers are good mates and that it was Silent that came to Lark Hill in Salford to brew this one. They've come up with an excellent fruity, extremely hazy beer, blurring the lines between tropical and exotic. Lots of body, but remaining crisp.

When I first came across this brewery I thought they were from Liverpool, but I was confusing the hip area around Lark Lane in that city, with this in Salford. No confusing this as a crisp pale ale. On the sweeter side of the spectrum for this one.

A trip to Germany later this year is in a planning stage. Golden coloured German style brew here, which is pretty close in taste to those I've experienced in Deutschland, but without the same depth.

Definitely this beer name could also be the name of a topic on 'Just A Minute'. Bright golden coloured, west coast styled brew, which is dry tasting, subduing fruits and sugars within this one. It's very crisp though, with an almost oily texture.

Alex Higgins loved a bit of the verbal alongside his pocket play. This one is probably a little soft by his drinking standards, session strength and incredibly cold and crisp. Cloudy dank golden in colour, its tropical citrus notes are understated because of a dominant dryness in taste, although its citrus remains quite active on the whole.

Taster at Lark Hill's Old Fire Station, which must have had very small engines given the small external doors. Dark brown colour. It's quite soft textured so doesn't feel its strength, and the lager has a very appealing sweetness.
