Keg @ Gullivers, Manchester. Pinkish-golden with a glow and a small head. Has some lactose and fruit with a low sourness factor, but the fusion certainly hides its lower strength, feeling and tasting fuller. Nothing gets that stated here but it's decent.

Keg @ Gullivers, Manchester. Hazy dark amber-gold with a thin head. It's not a lager but its Euro hops certainly point towards this. It's marketed as a pale ale but again it's not a traditional one if so. This is a long way if saying something in-between!!!

275ml shared with Phill and Alex (thx for the bottle!) @ Ryan's. Vintage 2003. Appearance: very dark copper with some shit in it, weak and bubbly beige head. Aroma: sweet, a bit oxidized, dark fruits, caramel. Taste: along the same lines, finished with tons of dark fruits like figs, and raisins. Quite woody. Overall: interesting.

Keg @ Gullivers, Manchester. Not quite clear glowing golden with a head. Peach is dominant in both aroma and taste, soapy in design. Its iced tea influence is evident enough.
