- Brewery
- Manchester Union Brewery
- Style
- Decoction‑mashed lager
- ABV
- 4.8%
- Origin
- Manchester, UK
- Typical pour
- Proper draught pint in a city‑centre bar
- Best with
- Pre‑gig burgers, or that first pint when you’ve legged it from work to the tram
- Hop / flavour notes
- Rich malty body, touch of toast, firm but smooth bitterness
- My take
- If Cloudwater Helles is tidy possession football, this is a diagonal ping to the winger – still controlled, but there’s a bit more swagger. The one I recommend to lager‑only mates to prove ‘craft’ isn’t all mango juice.
