A golden, quaffable session beer with an aromatic nose. Brewed with Pale Ale, Cara and Wheat malt, hopped and then dry-hopped with English Minstrel hops, giving a malty, easy drinking ale that’s golden in complexion with a wonderful orangey, citrus, hoppy aroma and finish.

Bottle from Lifecraft, Cowes, drunk at home. Tawny brown, clear, with a small film of whitish head. Caramel, tangerine peel and light tannic tea on the aroma. Taste is bittersweet, with caramel notes fading to a light medicinal bitterness. It's decent but a little bit dull, however it's got a lovely peach tea not win the aftertaste and is nicely carbonated which lifts it a bit.

Half-pint, cask ale at Fountain Inn. Naked at the surface, minimal lacing, clear amber coloured body. Faint smell of caramel malts, vague notes of fruit. Mild caramel flavours, some hints of grassy hops. Flat. Not in its best condition. (Cowes, Isle of Wight 21.10.2019).

Cask @ Real Ale Tavern, Bewdley. Clear gold appearance, white froth atop. Light biscuity malt nose, gently floral. Taste is similarly light with a fluffy biscuity malt character, gentle floral notes with a dry bitterness. Meh.
