Bottle in England. Aroma is pale malt, grainy, some toffee, some mild fruity notes. Flavour is light to moderate sweet with some bitterness in the finish. Body is light to medium. Bit too light and mild to impress.

A 500 ml bottle purchased from a convenience store in central London, being opened now offshore Scotland on a cruise ship. It views a medium gold topped by a steady skim of nearly white foam. It smells of grain and a touch floral. The taste follows along with that, barley, bread, a bit flowery and some fruity sweetness. Not great and not bad for a sedate style.

Golden ale by this familiar brewery in Hampshire, England, established in 1978 under influence of CAMRA and the revival of real ale traditions and now owned by Marston’s and thus Carlsberg; 50 cl bottle shared with Craftmember, Hinke and Goedele. Egg-white, thick and frothy, cobweb-lacing, slowly breaking but generally well-retaining head, clear warm ‘old-golden’ robe. Aroma of dried out white bread, old flour, dry straw, apple peel, grass, soggy chicken food, cooked turnip, field flowers in a herbarium. Crisp onset, quite lively carbonated with refreshing minerally effects, dryish and low in esters; white-bready maltiness with sharper grainy edges, feeling quite ‘genuine’ especially when a long-stretching, flowery, grassy and peppery hop bitterness sets in, accentuating the generally dry, crisp character of this beer. Simple and straightforward quencher, seemingly a tad more hop bitter than is typical for present-day English style golden ale, clean, crisp and easily drinkable. I could drink this every day.
