Norfolk Cottage Cottage Reserve
Cask at the Smithfield Hotel in Manchester. Great pub with good company. A mixture of family, friends and new friends. Amber colour, lovely palate and aftertaste. Hoppy which usually flys my kite in the right amounts. Slight typical English bitter thing going on which doesn’t usually fly my kite but still kite flying material.

A Mes rate: Cask filled jug at the Smithfield Hotel.
Light brown with a slight white rim. Nutty malt aroma with some wheat and straw. Great balance in the flavour. Malt and hops are both totally obvious but blend really well. Excellent bready malt and aromatic hops. Slight alcohol showing in the finish but it just gives it a nice kick. Lovely and clean on the palate. Nice stuff.
