Cask @ Nightjar, Hebden Bridge. Golden with a creamy head. It's hoppy with hints of sweetened tropical fruit, but none of the flavour, especially as its strength starts to take over.

1 litre plastic bottle from tap from Low Cost Beer. A dark ruby brown coloured pour with a healthy beige head on top. Sweet, malty, caramel, dark fruit taste/aroma. Maybe too sweet and syrupy but also quite moreish.
