Cask at CBC, Covent Garden on 3rd February 2024. Clear gold with minimal off-white film and spot lacing. Slightly pungent aroma. Hazelnut nuttiness in-mouth with toasty caramel, and an overtone of tangy citrus fruits. A finish of freshly baked bread and nutty maltiness - hazelnut. Light body and a smooth mouthfeel.

Cask at The Wellington, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear medium amber colour, with a bubbly white head. The aroma is malt, light toffee. The flavour is moderate bitter and sweet, with a smooth, grainy, light toffee, herbal, light woody hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with soft carbonation.

Cask at the Royal Standard, Wooburn Common. A pale amber pour with a loose white head; biscuity aroma with some herbal notes; sweet in the mouth with a grainy body; and a dry floral finish with a lingering herbal bitterness. A satisfying golden ale.
