A hint of initial sweetness adds to the fruitiness and grapefruit tang of this summer ale without detracting from its clean flavour and rich hop aroma.

500ml bottle from the BO. Very light pale malt aroma, some light uk hops, anc a little bit of mustiness, with some wet paper, maybe some wet grass. Good dose of pungent hops, and a light biscuity malt, with a light bitter dry finish.

(Bottle) Clear golden amber with huge rather loose white head. Nice aroma - fruity - orange, peach - hints of biscuit. Medium body with plenty of gentle carbonation. Taste has plenty of hops from start to pleasant bitter finish. There’s a bit of fruitiness at the start and some hints of toffee in the mid palate. Good beer.

Bottle. Pale blonde. Soft flowery hops, just a hint of glue and tangerine in the aroma. Yeasty, citric flowery hopbitter flavor. Yeasty nutty bitter aftertaste. Cardboard. A bit disappointing.

At a tasting, small stable bubbly head, clear quite deep yellow color, aroma of candy, dyacetil, grain and a hint of barnyard, fruity malty grainy flavor with a hint of hops and honey behind. Old, not too good.

A dark golden ale with plenty of bitter hops. A nice colour, good head and a very thirst quenching beer.

Bottle at home. Loved the powerful hoppy flavour of the ale but found it a bit too bitter for a golden, prefer mine lighter.
