Pours gold from the bottle. The frothy white head slowly settles. Aroma is floral with hints of tropical fruits. Taste has a light citric tartness up front, finishes tart and mildly bitter. Very clean and very smooth. Body is fairly light but assertive enough. Refreshing. Overall, very well balanced and a pleasure to drink. If I could get this regularly I would see it being a favorite summer beer.

500ml bottle. Clear pale golden colour with a thin white head. Aroma: tropical fruits, malt. Taste: sweet malt, tropical/citrus fruit, peach, light bitterness. Medium body with a smooth mouthfeel, light-medium carbonation. Very easy drinking and sessionable, more flavour than most in this style and nicely balanced.

2016 catch up - Bottle at home - A nice easy drinking golden ale that was perfect as a pre-Sunday lunch pint and also as an early evening pint having put the kids to bed. A gentle flavour of malt and hops, a low abv and good thirst quenching mouth feel.

Decent body for a light ale, better than most for the style. Nothing off, no complaints, just nothing special.

Cask @ The Salopian. Pours clear amber, thin off white head. Taste smooth with good fruity moments, peach apricot they all get a look-in. Very good and flavoursome for a golden ale.

Super pachnace zlociste piwko z minimalna pianka, zlota i mglista barwa. Cudowny zapach passiflory. W smaku ananasy, landrynki, nieco wanilli iraz miodu akacjowego, wszystko wzbogacone subtelna goryczka w tle. Przyjemne delikatne ale zarazem wyraziste. Polecam
