500ml bottle from Real English Drinks. Gluten Free. Golden colour, big foamy white head and aroma of malt, fruit, hop. Taste is sweet malt, grain, bread, hay, gluey, with some fruity hop bitterness. Medium bodied, soft foamy carbonation, drying bitter finish. Quite OK

Bottle from Growlers and Cans' stall at West Byfleet Farmer's Market. Aroma had a fruity bitterness to it plus a buttery popcorn. Copper gold. Bubbly translucent white head retreats to the rim. Tangy sour streak over sweet malts. Light bodied. Thin. Fizzy carbonation. Dry slightly astringent finish - the latter seems to get stronger as I drink more. A dose of tart sourness doesn't hide the unpleasant malty sweetness. And it just leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Cask at the 19th Egham Beer Festival. Bright straw with a thin white head; fruity aroma; berry fruit taste with a light bitterness; and a biscuity finish. A pleasant Golden Ale, but nothing more.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - golden with steady bubbles and a lovely fluffy head. Nose - oak leaf and generally stalky. Light citrus. Taste - dry citrus pith and again stalk and leaf notes. Palate --light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - not very interesting but it is balanced.

Bottle shared with AshtonMcCobb. I’m too Sussexy for this Tasting. Pours clear pale gold with a thick white head. Aromas of light citrus, something green, leafy. Taste is dry bitter, balanced. Not bad, but not a right lot going on. Gassy too.
