MCR Pale
A pale ale at 4.0% whose name is short for Manchester; the brewery also calls it Manchester Pale. It is made entirely with British ingredients: both the hops and the malt come from the UK. The aroma is spicy and zesty, and the beer ends on a crisp finish. It is sold in cans and has also been poured on draught at the brewery's own beerhouse.
Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for MCR Pale
Cold enough to sharpen the hop aroma without numbing the palate. Around 7–9°C keeps the citrus and pine vivid without losing bitterness definition.
The classic — versatile, comfortable to hold and keeps the beer cool. No frills, no distractions: just the beer.
Drink fresh — hop aroma fades fast. Best within 3 months of canning or bottling.
