Prodigious amounts of the bright version in keg and tank were sold in the working men's clubs of south and west Yorkshire but what an excellent pint the cask version was (in the 70s and early 80s). Paler than most of its contemporaries and although having a good hop profile, it had a touch of sweetness, in some ways reminiscent of the west Midlands style of bitter.Barbarrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16371017377365069024noreply@blogger.com
