Cask @ Crown & Kettle, Manchester. Clear golden with a deeper glow and a creamy head. Rugby seasonal, drank after defeat for Wales in the Six Nations so some guilt attached! Golden style ale with a pleasant hoppy-bitterness about it.

Cask at the Sandbar (Courier tap), Manchester, 26/01/24. Deep amber with a good sized lasting just off white cap. Nose is straw, light biscuit, grains, stewed fruits. Taste comprises biscuit, light mineral notes, straw, hedgerow, dull fruits, faint smoke ... likely unintentional. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close with a light bitter edge. Passable cask affair.

Cask @ Crown & Kettle, Manchester. Black with a light-brown creamy head. Has lovely smoothish lightly salted caramels, as you might expect. They negate any traditional stout character, but it's such a lovely light sweetened dark brew this matters little.

Cask at Lych Gate, Wolverhampton. Pours a golden yellow with a medium sized white head and good lacing. Thereβs some floral hops in the aroma, along with marmalade and some summer fruits. Floral hops again in the mouth, plus citrus and berry fruits. Later on more fruits come hrough, melon, ginger and oranges β leading to a slightly sticky finish. ITβs OK but a bit of a nothing beer really.

Cask @ Cask, Manchester. Clear deeper golden ale with a creamy head. Bittered golden ale but its hoppy taste remains dominant here. Hoppy aroma too.
