330ml bottle on a Virgin train from Leeds to Peterborough. Pours a filmy white layer, spotty lacing, bright golden body. Aroma of bread and leafy hops. Flavoured with oily hops and grain. Dry ending with a bitter note. Clean in the mouth. Pretty alright. (07.07.2017).

Bottle on the 13:45 Virgin train out of Leeds to London! Pours clear dark golden with a lasting small white head. Aroma of grassy hops, light caramel, touch of malt and straw. Quite high sweetness, light to medium bitterness. Light body, slight oily texture, average carbonation.

Bottle on the train. It pours clear golden - amber with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, fragrant, floral, elderberry and lemon peel. The taste is crisp, dry, clean, bitter, general fruity vibe, lemon peel, elderflower and peppery spice with a firmly dry finish. Light - medium body and fine carbonation. A pretty drinkable golden bitter. Not bad.

Appalling. They should not serve this on trains.

Bottle on board the Edinburgh - Kings Cross train, Monday 21st March 2016 in the company of Dad and Barry. Pours more copper in colour than golden with a white head. A little bit of boiled sweets on the nose, fairly standard golden bitter, a bit of sugary orange slice in the mouth, it’s fine. A5 A4 T6 P3 Ov12 3.0
