Goldings, Fuggles and American Cascade hops. Crisp, citrus hop aroma. Balanced, bittersweet finish. Strong and very memorable.

Gold with a frothy head of modest duration. Aroma a mix of grains, dough and peppercorn. Taste is bitter throughout. Medium-bodied, very dry, with a touch of spice at the end. Ok, and traditional too, but the pervading dry bitterness keeps it from ever feeling refreshing.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear light copper colour with a medium sized thick creamy white head. Aromas of caramel, bread, spice and a hint of citrus. Taste has caramel, citrus, toasty bread, more peppery spice and added notes of biscuits, floral and herbal. Decent earthy hops on the long finish. Medium body, low carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. Decent beer.
