This golden ale is reminiscent of the striking sunsets that can be seen from Belhaven Bay. With its refreshing citrus taste balanced against clean floral tones, this ale is certainly one to tempt the palate.

Cask at Norton Dog, Norton, Suffolk. Malty citrus aroma. Dark gold or light amber, hmmm? Frothy blotchy white head. Initially the taste was too low to register. A light citrus bitterness develops into the finish. Malty base. Medium bodied. Slick. Flat. Lightly astringent finish. Bland.

Cask, hal-pint at Ma Camerons in Aberdeen. Covering beige head to a bright gold-amber coloured body. Dotted spots on the glass. Modes mid-sweet smell of grain and floral hops. Flavoured with mild caramel malts added by citric hints. Bittersweet endnotes. A bit floury on the swallow. Accepted (19.04.2016).

On cask at Carter’s Tap. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - light rotten egg note then it blows off a bit and there’s some lemon and pale malt. Taste - lemon and astringent malt. Palate - light to medium bodied with a creamy texture and a finish that could be fresher. Overall - wouldn’t order a second.

Cask at the Portland Arms, Cambridge. Mid to dark gold, small white head that clings to the glass. Sulphurous, medicinal nose. Taste is better, with a sweetish fruity bitter. Sour edge dominates in the finish, but it is far from acrid. Not a great beer, hardly a good one, but it’ll do if you’re not terribly picky.
