Rich golden ale, complex and satisfying, the malts evident but giving way to the triple hop addition to give a spicy and slightly citrus finish.

Hardly a golden ale, more of a malty bitter.

Cask, gravity at Cheltenham Town hall, Cheltenham, Glos weekend of Cheltenham Folk Festival Sat 11th Feb 2012 Pours golden in colour. This was a little smokey on the nose and in the mouth also got a little cheesiness, some spiciness and then a dab of dusty hops and a little fruit. This was absolutely not what I expected but it was actually ok for the weirdness. A6 A4 T6 P3 Ov13 3.2

2nd February 2012
Cask at the Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Clear gold - amber beer. Suddy white head. Light dry palate. A bit ephemeral this beer. Very sublte soapy note. Rescued by some okay mild citrus hops, mild orange with a touch of lemon.
