Dec 23, 2006 Cask (handpump) at the Castle, Manchester, circa 2001. I’m departing from my normal practice of not entering pre-Ratebeer notes as I’m pretty sure this beer is retired. Quite pale in colour, but fairly traditional in chracter. Medium body. Pale malt and light fruit. Some citric hop but mainly dry, soft bitterness. Fairly well balanced but not very weighty for a 5% beer.

Dec 18, 2003 Cask Conditioned at The Hole in th' Wall, Bowness on Windermere, Cumbria. Golden amber beer with middling pale head. Crisp maltiness predominates, with a slight fruity sweetness, maybe apricot. Little hop character gets through the mass of malt.

Aug 19, 2002 Sampled cask conditioned at Castle Inn, Manchester.
Pale golden. Lightly flowery aroma. Rather sweet and fruity. Despite containing more alcohol then other Manchester bitters it still feels lighter.
