A superb premium golden ale with wonderful aromas of Amarillo hops and a lasting spicy and orangy flavour. Cara malt provides a little burnished colour, but the light body belies its strength.

Pours an almost clear golden colour with a small frothy white head. The aroma is fruity and floral, lots of peach. A moderately sweet to light sweet fruity taste, sweet pale malts, peach, melon and floral flavours with a semi-dry bittersweet fruity finish

Been a long while since I last had this. Loads of peaches and nectarines and super soft malts.

Pours gold from the bottle. A thick, frothy white head clings to the glass and lingers. Aroma is a subtle blend of tropical fruits, but sweetish, more peach and honey mellon than citrus or pine. There’s also an odd hint of something I can’t quite place but reminds me of dishwashing liquid. Taste is mildly sweet, turning mildly bittersweet at the finish. Body is to the lighter side of medium, carbonation is mild. Overall, good.

Fra flaske spandert av Rune. Delt med ham i WC-veien 24 Apr 17. Gylden. Høyt tett skum som daler sakte. God fruktaroma. Smaken balansert. Mye malt men også innslag av plommer & fersken. Bra øl.

A 500ml bottle bought at Queens Head in Chelmsford and shared with Finn back home. A bright warm golden body. Stable white head. Spotty lacing. Modest aroma of floral hops. Well blended taste of leafy hops and restrained caramel malts. Rounded, drying bitter tail. Medium bodied. Classic British brew, nice and tasty (Tromsø 24.04.2017).

Handpull cask at the Kingston Arms, Cambridge. Deep gold, clear with almost no head. Smells vaguely of citrus and peaches but there’s a spicy/soapy hint. Very bitter throughout and not particularly balanced. The Amarillo hop is left to run rampant. Bitter soapiness in the long finish. It’s alright but quite messy. Too many problems to justify a higher score.

500 ml bottle, from Ales by Mail. ABV is 5.0%. Golden colour, low white head. Pleasant aroma of spicy and fruity Amarillo hops. The flavour is mid between sweet and dry, with juicy and spicy hops throughout.
