A Pale with a big character all to itself. Once in the glass it has an outwardly simple and easy going golden appearance but it comes with lots of baggage! A well balanced mellow malt gives the beer a clear and rich body whilst a myriad of well selected hops leaves the beer with a wonderfully crisp late bitter finish.

Aroma: Floral with a vegetable notes.
Appearance: Hazy golden body with a medium white head. Lively carbonation. Light lacing.
Taste: Very metallic with a grassy, green vegetable flavour. Iโve got a feeling thereโs Nelson Sauvin in this. Bitter finish.
Palate: Medium body with a watery, slightly oily texture. Nice prickle on the tongue.
Overall: Floral and bitter with an unusual vegetable flavour. For me, itโs not as good as their Red Ale.

Cask@GBBF2012. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, floral some sweet malts as well as mild wooden and sappy notes. Flavour is rather similar in a nice balance. More of a bitter than an APA imho.

Gravity dispense at Windsor Locale festival - 22/07/12. Slightly obscured golden yellow in colour with a thin white head. Not a big aroma to this beer but sweet malts and a little citrus and hop come over. Hops and fruit on the flavour. Light to medium bodied and fairly wet. Average.

Cask at Windsor Locale beer festival 2012. A hazy golden coloured pour with a small white head on top. Fruity, hoppy aroma. Tastes malty, fruity, hoppy. Not bad.

Cask at the Southampton Arms on 10th November 2011. Amber with thin whitish head and full light lacing. Malt, caramel and grassy hops in aroma. Rich hoppiness lasts to a finish that satisfies before fruitiness returns late on in the aftertaste.

Cask at The London Brewers Showcase 2011. Pours clear, pure gold with a foamy, white head. Pleasant bready aroma, slight citrus zest. Lightly sweet flavor, tons of bread, biscuits, sticks and wood, mild bitterness, some leaves, hay and straw. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Fairly dry finish, some toast, straw and hay, light sweetness. Extremely decent beer.
