Cask @ Beckett’s Bank, Leeds. Golden with a small frothy head. Session ale with a nice smoothness in its texture and a fair hop-malt balance. Some floral notes in its nose but its not potent.

50 cl bottle @ home, BBE 04/2016
Lots of foaming and yeast(?) particles when pouring – unusual for a British beer. Aroma has peaches, biscuits and funky yeast. Also some hay and minerals. So far this has quite a strong Belgian feeling. Lots of CO2 and foam on palate – makes this hard to drink. Flavour has minerals, grainy tones, some yeast and hints of citrus. At the beginning this feels rather straightforward. And at the middle of the glass this has gained rather strong and unpleasant herbal bitterness. A bit unusual for a Bitter, more like a golden ale. Not the most typical golden ale either, though. And not a beer for me; drinking this started well but I finally ended up with drain pour.

Bottle, Christmas gift from Alan. Hazy golden body with yeast flecks floating around. Thin white head that holds well. Excellent lacing. Aroma of apricot and cereal. Dry, fruity flavour - peach, orange and apricot. Honey and grass in there too. Medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Soft carbonation. A fruity, sessionable beer - a cross between a Golden Ale and a Bitter.

Pours brass-amber with a tall, frothy, long-lasting , parchment head. Floral hop scent, pear, apple. Taste is slightly bitter-sweet...soft fruit, malt, yeast. Very mild. Not bad, but a bit flat.
