Cask @ Gasworks Brewbar, Manchester. Dark golden with a creamy head. It’s well-smoked in its aroma with lots of ham, but less so in taste, which has some berry-fruitiness about it.

Hazy gold - amber beer, good cream colour head. Smooth and mildly sweet malts. Light dry cream. Pithy hops, pithy orange. Light florals. A little spicy bitterness. Whisper of something tropical. Smooth dry finish. Never really gets going, but fine.

Hazy yellow - gold beer, tidy pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has reasonable carbonation. Light and sweetish malts. Light floralness, sweet. Touch of funky seltzer. A mild generic tropical fruit vibe. Light finish. Not bad.

Bottle. Bier Huis, Ossett. Dirty gold. Film and some suds of off white head. Nose has dry, pale malts. Notes of peach stone. Hint of strawberry. Hint of bubblegum. Not getting much Sorachi, but overall it smells very decent. Taste has an earthy bitterness. A little papery. Turns fairly dry. Little in the way of sweetness. Light body. Prickly carbonation. Earthy and dry finish.
