Bottle from Bottle Stop, Bramhall. Fuller hazed amber with a head. Strong tasting IPA with breads and yeasts abundant, and a pale ale dryness in its texture.

Bottle from Drink? Hebden Bridge. Golden with a mild haze and a mild glow. This is fairly dry and hoppy with a hint of wild fruit behind quite a gritty-soapy taste, which in itself makes it feel dense and stronger tasting than it actually is.

Hazy yellow gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Thin malts, mildly sweet. A pleasing light lemony tartness. Modest tart Tamarind fruits. Mildly tart. Light finish. Tidy but could be more Tamarind for me.

Cask, half-pint, shared with Finn and Holmen2 at Port Street Beer House. Remaining patchy white head blanketing the glass. Bright amber body. Moderate grassy hops on the nose, hints of peaches. Malt-fruity taste of peaches and malty sweetness beneath. Mid-sweet, dry end. Easy going. (Manchester 25.01.2020).

Fine blended malt-driven taste of chocolate and dark bread. Mildly roasted ending with a bite of coffee. Likable. (2nd day of the festival 23.01.2020).
