Clean and crisp citrus hop flavours are balanced by a subtle crystal malt base. Finish is subtle, but pleasantly long.

Cask @ Old Vine, Winchester. Golden with no head. Session style golden ale with a gentle hoppiness, and perhaps a hint of caramel.

Half-pint, gravicask, shared with Finn at Queen Inn. Filmy layer that laces quite well. Clear amber body. Mid-sweet caramel malts on the nose, hints of ripe fruits. Mixed taste of herbal hops and buttery caramel. Balancing bittersweet finish. Decent bitter version. (Winchester 23.10.2019).

Cask at the Steam Town Brew Co, Eastleigh, Hampshire. Pours clear golden with a small white head. Aroma of malt, hop, citrus, flowers and light grass. Medium sweetness, moderate bitterness. Towards medium body, slight oily texture, soft carbonation. This should be listed as a golden.

On tap at the Old Vine. Beautiful gold colour. Aroma is perfumey with some hops. Flavour is just a big ball of hops with grass, straw and bread notes.

Tried at the Nottingham Beer Festival 2015. Deep golden colour with a thin head. Decent fruity and bread aroma, a nice bitter finish. Very easy to drink.
