Old rating - Pours a straw colour with a small white head. Aroma has light floral hops, grass & citrus fruits. Taste is also quite light, but really crisp, with citrus, peach, pine, grass, some biscuit & some honey. Finish is lingering bitter, grassy and crisp.

500ml bottle from Hop Vault, Stourbridge, online. Pours a clear gold with small tight white head, lovely retention. Aroma is biscuit with a vibrant citrus and floral aroma. Pleasant. Taste has a nice pale moreish biscuit quality, a rising fruitiness notably grapefruit, some citrus, smooth, sweet but a moderate bitterness to offset, slightly dry. A balanced beer in all areas. Light, refreshing, moreish, fruity. For a 4% English Golden Ale this is stunning.

Bottle 0,5ltr: Clear golden coloured brew with an fruity bitter taste and this great Shropshire Golden Ale got an American touch.

Bottle @Bir&Fud Bottega (Rome). Dorata, limpida, schiuma bianca leggera. Al naso note erbacee, leggermente citriche. In bocca è leggermente maltata all'attacco con chiusura amara leggera. Corpo esile, carbonazione medio-leggera. Ok.

This is another of those “I can’t believe I’ve not rated this before” beers. Cask at Picture House, Stafford, but have drunk it many times before. Pours lemon yellow with a small white head and excellent lacing. There’s citrus and floral hops in the aroma. Pretty much the same in the mouth where it starts off sweet and juicy but has some sharpness come through later. This is decent – but not particularly exciting.

Missed review from 2.8.2015. Initial burst of citrus. Light head stayed. Very pale - almost lager looking. Really fresh floral tastes with a background of grapes & reasonably hoppy. A lovely session beer.

Bottle online from The Salopian Brewery. Pours a clear light golden colour with a medium sized creamy white head. Aromas of citrus lemon, floral and a touch herbal. Taste has more citrus lemon, floral and herbs with some sherbet lemon and peppery spice. Earthy and grassy hops on a dry finish. Thin to medium body, average carbonation and slightly oily mouthfeel. Not bad, a quite refreshing summery beer.
