Manchester Beer Festival 2020. Hazy golden-blonde, but perhaps more of the former. It has a hoppy-sweet taste, although quite a bland one.

Cask, shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Coast to Coast Bar. Misty golden body, bubbles on the surface, fair lacing. Moderate floral hops on the nose. Citrus flavours with lemony hops to the fore. Ends with a refreshing fruity aftertaste. Satisfying. (Third day of the festival 24.01.2020).

Gravicask, shared with Finn at Manchester Beer & Cider Festival, Coast to Coast Bar. Lacing rings down the glass. Covering beige head, black in the glass. Promising smell of cocoa and chocolate. Sweet chocolate flavours offset by a touch of coffee towards the ending. Sweet malty finish, lightly roasted. Nice.
