500ml bottle. Poured a crystal clear golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head and a few bubbles. The aroma is malt, light woody hops. The flavour is moderate bitter, with a light, crisp, biscuit, mineral, earthy, hop bitter palate and a lingering bitter finish. Medium to light bodied with average carbonation.

Bottle from The Hillside Brewery Shop, Longhope, Gloucestershire. New Label: ‘Hops For Tomorrow Pale Ale 3.8%abv’. Pours an almost clear light amber colour with a one finger fluffy white head. A little sprinkling of sediment in the glass with lively fine carbonation. Aromas of citrus fruits and floral hops. Taste has more citrus and floral with some added spice and herbal notes. There’s also a big grassy bitterness that lasts a long time on the finish. Lightish body with a fairly lively mouthfeel. Fresh and very hoppy beer. A summer thirst quencher. The bitterness on the end is a little too harsh for me personally.

3/8/2019. Bottle at the Wrocław Grand Prix bottle share, from minutemat. Pours clear golden with a large frothy white head. Aroma of grass, hops, malt, citrus, grapefruit and flowers. Moderate sweetness and medium bitterness. Moderate body, slight oily texture, average to soft carbonation. Nice light lasting bitterness. Decent brew.

500ml bottle. Clear golden with a thick stable white head. Citrusy zesty aroma. Taste is pretty much the same, citrus, orange/lemon peel, zesty, biscuity malts, moderate bitterness. Light body, oily texture. Not too bad for a golden ale at a low ABV.

Cask-conditioned at the Seven Stars, Bristol 6/10/2015. Golden in colour with a slight, white, head. Yeasty stone fruits, some sweetish cereal malts, a touch of leafy hop and moderately bitter finish. Fine.

Bottle from Saucy Pears. Appearance - golden with a really lively head. Nose - funky, zesty! Taste - more of the same. I sense a fault. Palate - light bodied with a tangy fresh texture and a long dry but wild yeast infected finish. Overall - not as the brewer intended.

500ml bottle thanks (I think) to Ashton McCobb. Pours clear pale gold, thick white head. Over-carbonated suggesting yeast or bottling issues. Aromas are earthy, muddy, faint lemon. Taste is faint sour, musty, dry finish.
