Bottle from Melbicks Garden Centre, Coleshill. Clear dark gold, fluffy white head. Aroma of citrus, floral-grassy hops, touch of biscuit. Is quite a hoppy gold, floral and citric on a reasonable malt base helped by the 5.2%, crisp finish. Medium bodied, smooth. Nothing exciting but a very well crafted gold nonetheless.

Bottle from a colleague. Clear deep gold colour lasting white head. Yes a tasty strong golden ale. Good malts and the peppery finish is excellent. I really liked it. Distinctively English.
