A Mes rate. Cask handpull from Baker Street ’Sporks.
Dark copper with a thin off white head and plenty of lace. Well balanced bright and perfumed hops with some good malty hints and a really pleasing bitterness in the finish. Straight forward but really enjoyable.

Nitro beige head over a ruby-red body. Smell of grassy hops with notes of grapefruits. Modest flavour of dark fruits sustained by spices and earthy malts. Quite light in the aftertaste, but fine mouthfeel (half, well-kept cask ale at Thomas Rigbys in Liverpool, 04.05.2009).
