A vivid golden bitter, designed to offer pale beer with real taste and aromatic impact. The initial bitterness is followed by a surprising sweetness culminating with a long dry finish.

Cask at the High Cross Inn, Broughton-in-Furness. Deep golden colour, flat. Lemony, metallic, cereal aroma. Mildly bitter, slightly sulphurous taste. Body is light to medium. So, just another golden ale basically.

Clear 500ml bottle: third beer of a random tasting even on 15 Mar 2013. Poured into an ’Old Speckled Hen’ badged pint vase shaped glass (at home). Pleasant light amber/golden blonde in colour with a small and swiftly fading white head of popping bubbles: carbonisation rising through the clear body adding to the surface fizz. Malts rule this brew although the hops do give it a sharp edge and bitterness. The aroma was of baked fruit biscuits and slightly woody. The taste followed the same way but as mentioned sharper and quite bitter, especially as the mouth dries. The beer lacks punch and body depth to be honest: OK but not enough ’umph’ to make me want another.

bottle - Pours yellow-gold with a minimal head. It has a mild bready malt aroma. The similarly mild flavor is sweet with a little English hops in the finish. The carbonation is low. Too low. This bland beer is just not very good at all. Did it suffer for getting shipped across the big pond?

This has a nice strong hoppy aroma. Nice light malty taste with a dry bite of hop in the finish.

Nice looking golden ale with malts in the aroma. Decent body that helps the taste linger.
