Two Hoots

I know I should not do it and should definitely not admit it, but sometimes I choose my poison according to its label. This was the case when I bought (and then drank) Two Hoots, by Joseph Holt Brewery. Because of the two owls (I love owls), which are supposed to represent malts and hops, from what I understand. That and the fact that it is a brewery based in Manchester, which is always a plus in my book. The beer was a bit too golden for the dreary day I drank it, something darker might have fitted better, but it was a darker kind of gold, as you can see on the picture, and it was actually delicious. The kind of blonde that has taste and character. Like its colour, it doesn't taste too blonde.
