Golden. Aroma is light with floral honey and a gentle fruity hop character. Nice, easy-drinking balanced golden ale.

Floral hop aroma. Citrus and hop in the flavour with a nice dry finish. A perfect session ale.

Bottle that Dad shared- cheers. Light amber with a moderate white head. Some lemon, lime and pine but it’s all very restrained. Little bitterness. OK flavourwise, just needs less timid use of the hops. Champion beer of Britain? I really don’t think so.

Cask at New Britannia, Preston. Pours clear yellow gold with a thick white head. Aromas of bready malt and light lemon hops. Lemony notes continue whilst drinking, alongside hay. Decent bitterness, but ultimately a bit thin.

500ml bottle. Clear golden amber colour, foam white head and aroma of grain & spicy hop. Taste is malt & grain, with a metallic tang, and some woody & spicy hop bitterness. LIght bodied, medium carbonation, dry lingering metallic bitter finish. OK.

Poured a clear yellow straw colour with a thin white broken head, broken lace and high carbonation. The aroma is peachy, leading to a medium bitter, malty slightly zesty flavour with some fruity notes on the palate and a mild bitter lingering aftertaste. A very drinkable summer session beer served cool.

Three hand-pulled pints for Sunday lunch on 18 Nov 2012 @ The Wrekin Inn, Wellington, Shropshire. Completely different drink to the bottled version: this is miles better. Pours the pale golden colour you’d expect with a good head that stays. Great blend of flavours give the beer a slightly maltier feel than hoppy, although there is a dry bitter finish from the hops that takes over two thirds of the way through each gulp. Very, very easy to drink (hence my three pints) and leaning towards sweet; it suits my taste buds nicely. Good body depth and I can now understand how it got to win its various awards.
