    Definitely worth keeping an eye out for. They very rarely brew a duff beer. A particular favourite is South Island Pale, brewed with New Zealand hops and I was recently impressed with the Dark Matter MILD. Quinno was very taken with the Elderflower Blonde, on his last journey north.

    The only problem noted with Saltaire is with the fruit flavoured beers especially Raspberry Blonde, the fruit essences used seem to taint the lines fairly quickly and it's very hard to get rid of. I drank some Taylors Le Champion recently and thought it was Saltaire Raspberry Blonde as did my companion who runs a well respected free house in the area. It turned out to be a tainted line, and that's not the first time I've noted this raspberry edge. Some places have stopped selling Raspberry Blonde for this reason.

    Most of their beers are excellent though.

    Fascinating. Never heard of this before, so will have to bow to your superior knowledge here. I wonder why line cleaner doesn't sort it out?

    Wold Top Hello Velo. A light easy drinking beer and at 4.2% a perfect beer to have a few of in The Baum. So I did.
