An extremely clean-drinking pale golden ale with a strong floral aroma and elderflower notes from the Cascade hops. This beer is full-bodied and full-flavoured yet gentle enough to make it a favourite session beer.

Cask at PoW, Farnborough. Hoppy floral aroma. Light gold. White head is on the thin side. A hop bitterness, although there is sweetness seeping through the cracks. Light and watery. A softness to the mouthfeel. Long, if muted, mouthfeel. Decent enough.

Cask at Cask Pub & Kitchen, London.
Golden, clear body, with a medium, creamy, lacing, yellowish head.
Aroma of grass, flowers, some hay, citrus, slight tropical fruits, some biscuit.
Tastes of citrus, grass, flowers, grains, some tropical fruits, some biscuit.
Medium, slick mouthfeel, with a moderate carbonation.
Finishes medium bitter, a bit dry, zesty, floral, grassy, a bit fruity, a bit sweet.
Nice one. Very easy and fresh, with some nice grainy notes. Not as much hops as expected though. Not the best style example I’ve had, but a well drinkable one.

Håndpumpet på King’s Arms (Waterloo), før konsert i Festival Hall: klar, lys gylden med ok skum. Frisk og godt humlet med preg av citrus, blomster og appelsinmarmelade. Litt gress i avslutningen. En av de bedre golden ales.

Cask at Holborn Whippet. Dark Star 3.8% hop head light golden ale It pours a clear shiny gold from the cask with a thick head of foam. Happy citrus and honey graham cracker aroma. Smooth full mouthfeel. The taste is ascerbic, bitter and earthy with a definite English bitter type bent I wasn’t expecting. Alright but not for me.
