Old review from Feb 2017 - A 500ml bottle. It pour's a straw colour with a thin whitish head with some lacings. Aroma is caramel and straw malts, wet cardboard, light lemony citrus & floral hop. Light bodied & thin texture. Taste follows much of the aroma with some malty sweetness that leads to a mildly bitter finish.

500ml bottle from Morrisons, online. Clear gold with small white head, some retention but nice lacing. Aroma of soft malts, bubblegum, spice, light fruitiness. Taste is soft chewy malts, light yeastiness, spicy, robust crisp bitter finish. Quite characterful, I like it.

Bottle 0,5ltr: Golden clear brew with nicely grassy bitter taste with an slightly citrus taste. Yorkshire meets the Czech Republic and Germany and may become great friends.

Pours a clear golden colour with a small fine and mostly lasting, white head. Aroma is sweet grainy malts, with some light grassy and citrusy hop notes. A moderately sweet taste, sweet grainy malts, light sweet citrus flavours and a light bitterness in the finish.

Cask at The Rusty Bucket, Eltham. Blonde pour with a white head. Nose is lemon drops, lime, touch of tropical fruits. Taste is grapefruit, lime, more lemon drops. Quite a fruity number. Fruity hoppy action.

Good foam on clear gold body. Vague honey and light grain aroma. Taste is soft honey, vague lemon, ends smooth. Easy at least, a little forgettable.
