Cask handpull at Market Porter. Hazy copper thin off white head. It’s a bitter, decent malty fruits, some bitter hops on finish. You know, a bitter.

Bottle, Rainhall Drinks, Barnoldswick. There’s a really decent brew struggling to make its presence felt here, but it somehow falls short. It started out promisingly with some nice hoppage mingling with caramel malt to give quite a pleasant and inviting aroma. The flavour was more caramel malts and a vague slightly plasticy fruitiness; the hops aren’t given a chance to shine through, seeming smothered. Its not terrible by any stretch, and extra maeks for coming from Islay. I’m sure this would taste much better if it was drained in the 19th hole of the Machrie with a tasty malt by its side. When that scenario unfolds (asI hope it will one day) I will endeavour to re rate !
