Many thanks to Simontomlinson. Nice malty Ale beginning. Typical low bitterness, fruity dark. Easy to drink, caramel, malty but a bit thin finish. Nice.

Manchester Beer Festival 2020. Amber-copper in colour, it's a deeper tasting bitter rather than an obvious brown ale.

Third, shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Coast To Coast Bar. Bright warm golden body, patchy white head, dotted spots on the glass. Mild floral nose, mid-dry. Ripe lemony hops on the taste buds, light grainy backbone. Oily hop bitterness to the ending. Quite alright. (Third day of the festival, 24.01.2020).

Third, shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Coast To Coast Bar. Pitch black in the glass, dissipating beige head, rings of lace down the grass. Moderate smell of bread and chocolate. Mixed taste of liquorice and dark bread. Roasted malt-driven, short end. Easy to drink. Decent mild. (Third day of the festival, 24.01.2020).
