Clear golden colour, small white head. Grainy, fruity, even a bit honeyish aroma. A bit we doggie. Light to medium-bodied. Pale malty, fruity hoppy flavour. Lingering bitteness. A bit sweet. Quite traditional golden ale even with Cascade hops.

500ml bottle. Clear pale golden colour, minimal white head. Aroma is mild, some slightly sweet tropical fruit and hops, malt. Taste follows suit with some fruity hoppiness and slightly sweet malt, mild citrus and bitter grapefruit. Soft carbonation, oily texture. Good balance but a somewhat average beer.

Bottle from Cambridge Wine Merchants, Cherry Hinton Road. Bright yellow. Almost clear. Distinct white head. Floral smell, hint of lemon and grapefruit. Bittersweet gentle taste, followed up with a much more bitter finish. Citrus and a hint of botanical in the finish. Not quite as good as cask but still pretty damn good.

Bottle @Pulp, Athens. Pours light amber with small diminishing white head. Medium body, dry bitter finish. Malty aromas, fruity notes with a grainy backbone and hoppy kicks for balance. Very refreshing, and well combined with our sausage plate.
