Cask @ Malt n' Hops, Chorley. Copper-gold with a glow and a frothy head. Its spiciness is low, and its tropical fruits include mandarin and orange, which provide plenty of flavour and a sweetness.

Cask @ Baum, Rochdale. Clear golden with a creamy head. The Citra here is dry tasing, making this brew slightly more hoppy than fruity.
