500ml bottle. Cloudy gold with small white foamy head, nice retention. Aroma is floral, light fruits and sweet malts; not bad. Taste has yeasty-doughy malts, biscuit, floral, light fruity hop, slightly drifting middle, mild tangy finish with a short bitter bite. Light to moderate body. Decent gold ale, well bottle conditioned.

Cask at Square Bottle, Chester (as Beachcomber). :Pours lemon yellow with a small off-white head and good lacing. The aroma has citrus and floral hops. In the mouth it is basically sweet but fluctuations into a slight sharpness. Malts and floral hops are evident immediately, whilst later on it becomes quite bitter with citrus and grapefruit. Itβs reasonable.

Clear pale gold with a frothy / creamy white head and a subtle light biscuit malt aroma, just the tiniest hint of fruit. Creamy and smooth, light biscuit malt to the fore, with a hint of grapefruit bitterness and a dry finish

Cask @ Salopian, the pub. Pours clear shiny gold, small persistent white cream atop. Aroma speaks of grapefruit, pale malt. Taste is light, fruity, grapefruit, gentle low bitterness, drying close. Fine.

Cask at the Old White Lion - East Finchley. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The aroma has citric hops and damp grains.light sweet flavor with leafy hops, mild astringency, more grain, some hay and husk. Light bodied, softly carbonated; not great condition. Grainy finish, some further citric hops, leaves. Poor.
