Amber. Good head on pour, some retention with good layering and some lacing. Zesty, light, citrus. This pub was also recommended, and this was the only option - might've been timing, as there were 2 empty pumps. Pub was much nicer, apart from obnoxious fat man by door (not a bouncer, just a twattish customer). Third recommendation, Sefton Arms, was worse - nothing new, or even particularly good, on at all. Again, to be fair, we may have been in the Old Man's Local part, and the other bit was better. Still, WDV a disappointment for pubs, but the food scene is apparently thriving.
