Fra fat i baren på The East Inda Club, sammen med Steven: klar gylden med fint skum som varer til bunns. Frisk, balansert og leskende med fin syrlighet (citrus og furunål) i en slank men god maltkropp. Fungerte også brillefint til den fantastiske curryen vi hadde.

Keg at Wheatsheef, Farnham. Aroma is vaguely malty and fruity. Opaque amber. Foamy white head. Sour. Tangy if light citrus. Light malts. Thin if slightly chewy. Average carbonation. Long dry finish. Not much going on.

On tap at Mr. Fogg’s. Pours a clear gold with a white head that lasts throughout the beer and laces. Aroma has lots of bread and earthy grass with a slight straw note underlying. Flavor has bread and straw with a grass note supporting.

Draft @ Coast Guard, St. Margret‘s Bay. Clear dark gold with a small white head. Aroma of generic citrus fruits. Taste of grains, malts, citrus fruits, straw and grass. Moderate bitterness. Medium carbonation. Ok. At least it was thirst quenching.

Keg. Several pints at the Exeter Arms, Barrowden, Rootland. A clear burnished gold beer with a decent white head. Palate is fairly dry and has a decent minerally crispness. Slightly thin and dry malts provide just about enough sweetness. The hops, such as they are, were ripe orangey citrus. I could not taste Boudicca hops. Light crisp dry finish. Comes together well enough in to a serviceable beer, but by 4.5 pints, I really wanted to drink something else.

Bottle picked up from Tesco, Streatham and drunk at mums (26/11/2021) - clear golden pour with a white head. Sweet malty and subdued hoppy, vague light citrus fruit, caramel, light to medium body, subdued hoppy bitter finish. Basic.

Clear golden colour with lasting head. It's a decent golden ale with light notes of tropical fruit hop. Nicely bitter.
