Keg at Drygate. Pours clear dark brown with a short-lived off-white head. Aromas of burnt rubber, faint toffee. Couldn't get past the rubber though. Light sweet taste. Thin finish.

Bottle from Sainsbury's Supermarket, Salford. Darker golden-amber with a small head. A traditional ale with some bitterness, but there's some red-berry style sweetness involved as well.

Keg at Drygate. It pours hazy slightly murky orangey with a decent fluffy white head. The aroma is sweet, juicy, orange fanta, candy, marmalade, apricot, peach, tinned fruit cocktail, slightly soapy and some floury bread. The taste is dryish initially, softish, smooth, floury bread, chalky, green, raw hop sting, toothy, apricot, peach, mango, twist of citrus and dull tannin with a drying finish. Medium body and soft, fluffy carbonation. Decent hazy. Ticks the boxes.

Keg at Drygate. It pours lightly hazy straw yellow with a thick, fluffy white head. The aroma is soft, sweet, banana foamy candy, banana split, warming spice, clove rock, fizzy flyer saucers, wheat grain and hay. The taste is fairly dry and almost puckering dryness upfront, light tannin, toothy, chalky, banana foamy candy, banana split, tapioca, warming clove spice, slightly medicinal in that aspect and green aspects with a drying, chalky finish. Medium body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. A fairly ok wheat beer.

Keg at Drygate. It pours lightly hazy pink - blush with a decent off - white head. The aroma is sweet, intoxicating, tangy raspberry, sherbet, fizzy candy, pic n mix, fizzers and jam. The taste is rather sweet, sugary, tangy, raspberry, loads of candy, pic n mix vibes, fizzers, jammy and victoria sponge cake with a sugary candy-like finish. Light body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. A touch too sweet and candy like for me. Needs to be more quenching.

Keg at Drygate. It pours hazy deep brown with a small, bubbly khaki head. The aroma is sappy, bitter - sweet, big hit of coffee, nutty, toasted wood, cacao nibs, toffee and toasted brown sugar. The taste is dry, bitter - sweet, rich roasted malt, cacao nibs, dark chocolate, freshly brewed coffee, light tannin and toasted brown sugar with a dry, toasty coffee finish. Average body and fine carbonation. Not a huge amount of depth, but drinks well.

Keg at Drygate. It pours lightly hazy golden - yellow with a medium, fluffy white head. The aroma is toasty grain, spent grain, nuttiness, mellow coffee grounds, milk sugar, touch of creaminess and wood. The taste is smooth, bitter - sweet, slightly milky/creamy, light fruitness akin to apricot/peach, nutty, woody, tapioca and a mellow coffee character which lingers throughout with a dry, toasty finish. Average body and moderate, fluffy carbonation. Not sure how well this works tbh. Coffee should probably be a bit more punchy.
