A 500 ml bottle purchased from a convenience store in central London, being opened now offshore Scotland on a cruise ship. It views a medium gold topped by a steady skim of nearly white foam. It smells of grain and a touch floral. The taste follows along with that, barley, bread, a bit flowery and some fruity sweetness. Not great and not bad for a sedate style.

Golden ale by this familiar brewery in Hampshire, England, established in 1978 under influence of CAMRA and the revival of real ale traditions and now owned by Marston’s and thus Carlsberg; 50 cl bottle shared with Craftmember, Hinke and Goedele. Egg-white, thick and frothy, cobweb-lacing, slowly breaking but generally well-retaining head, clear warm ‘old-golden’ robe. Aroma of dried out white bread, old flour, dry straw, apple peel, grass, soggy chicken food, cooked turnip, field flowers in a herbarium. Crisp onset, quite lively carbonated with refreshing minerally effects, dryish and low in esters; white-bready maltiness with sharper grainy edges, feeling quite ‘genuine’ especially when a long-stretching, flowery, grassy and peppery hop bitterness sets in, accentuating the generally dry, crisp character of this beer. Simple and straightforward quencher, seemingly a tad more hop bitter than is typical for present-day English style golden ale, clean, crisp and easily drinkable. I could drink this every day.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear copper/bronze colour with a thinnish throthy white head. Subtle notes of floral, citrus and honey. Taste has more of the notes from the aroma, added fruit salad sweets and an earthy hop on the finish. Medium body, low carbonation and very smooth oily mouthfeel. Quite nice.

Pours a hazy golden color with thin white head that stays a while. Citrus aroma, flavor is a bit watery, some fruity elements. Slightly bitter aftertaste. Drinkable, but not exactly outstanding.
