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 at L6. It pours clear golden - orange with a small white head. The aroma is earthy, toasty grain, cereal, grassy, floral and toasty grain. The taste is dry, bitter, toasty grain, paper, grassy, citrus peel and earth with a drying finish. Medium body and fine carbonation, not bad. Not much to it.

Cask pint in the Ryde (IoW) Wetherspoons on 13th March 2017. Clear golden pour, full white head. Citrus leanings in both the nose and taste; refreshing enough, but lacked depth and bitterness, bit ’samey’ in other words ’like a lot of other beers around in the UK at the moment’.
