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.

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.

Cask at the Alma Inn, Harwich. Poured a clear straw colour with a thin broken white head. The aroma is big citrus fruit grass bucket hop. The flavour is moderate bitter with a crisp refreshing, light fruity hop bitter, light pepper spice palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.

Slightly hazy medium golden colour, nice one finger frothy white head mostly lasting, nice lacing. Aroma of sweet, fruity aromatic hops, citrus, tangerine, lemon, candy, orange marmalade, dough, herbal notes. Smooth low to medium sweet and bitter taste, light sour and herbal notes. Medium body, smooth oily texture, average carbonation, medium bitter finish, citrus hops linger on, spicy notes. Well-balanced and smooth bitter.

Bottle from AlesByMail.co.uk. Dark golden to amber, clear body, with a medium, creamy, white head. Aroma of citrus, tangerine, some berries, candy, grass, some fresh herbs. Taste with the same aromas, the malt body is really smooth, with honey, biscuit, candy. Mouthfeel is medium, oily, with a smooth carbonation and it finishes medium bitter, fruity and complex malty. Quaffable, easy to drink and still full bodied, with a tasty, multifarious malt body and nice, fresh fruit notes. Really enjoyable!

Bottle. Hazy dirty amber colour with a small bubbly head. Hoppy, a touch dry and fruity, with the latter aspect more prevalent in its nose.

[5/4/14] Cask at Charlie’s Bar in Copenhagen. Clear golden. Hoppy aroma with tropical fruits and citrus. Dry-ish flavor, a bit grainy, with nice fruity hops and moderate bitterness. Medium-bodied. Nice.
