Cask ABV: 3.6%, Bottle ABV: 4%. A beautifully balanced, light gold coloured beer with dominant hop flavours and pale malt character. Guzzler is an easy drinking, crisp & refreshing session ale brewed with Challenger and Celeia hops that bring about a light citrus palate with overtones of Grapefruit.

On cask at the Old Well in Barnard Castle. Appearance - golden with a proportionate head. Slight hop haze. Nose - lemon, meadow flowers, even a bit of fresh sweat. Taste - more lemon, quite sweet heading to lemon curd Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy yet tangy texture and a fairly good finish. Overall - decent golden ale but more bitterness required if it’s going to be a true guzzler.

Cask at The Outlook, Reading. Vivid clear gold with a large white head. Initially it’s a bit thin and bland with just a hint of caramel and citrus. The hops take a while to wake up but eventually come through to give orange and a fresh leafiness and a mild but lasting and growing bitterness. There’s a bit of creaminess which doesn’t quite go with the hops- it needs to be crisper. Nevertheless it’s a better-than-average golden ale.

Cask at the Clarendon Arms, Cambridge. Clear deep golden with an impressive white head and a fair bit of lacing. Grassy cereal aroma with a hint of vegetable. Taste is an improvement: a bittersweet malty base with fades to a pleasant bitter finish. Not much to it though. I remember this being better.
