Pours a clear golden colour with a medium sized lasting off white head. A light pale malty aroma with mandarin and straw. A dryish light malty taste, a little caramel with some straw and grassy flavours and a light citrus bitterness in the finish.

Handpull cask from the Geldart, Cambridge. Dark gold and very clear. Spotty white head. Soft papaya and vegetal notes, not what one might expect from this sort of beer but it’s nice enough. Sweet tropical fruit taste with a palpable savouriness. Short finish. Medium body, carbonation is very soft. A beer that grows on me over the course of a pint is always a good thing.

Cask at Red Squirrel, High Wycombe. Crystal-clear gold with a thick white head. Floral, some lemon, a little caramel and white pepper. Very dry, slightly chalky. Grew watery and bland. Didn’t do it for me, although I seem to be in the minority here.

Bottle from Glen Park Hotel, Ayr. Appearance - golden with a decent head. Nose - lemon and flowers. Hay. Taste - loads of lemon with pale malt hiding a little at the back. Palate - light bodied with a creamy texture and a long dry finish. Overall - another solid golden ale. There are probably 100s of beers made in this style and to this solid standard on this island. I probably couldn’t pick this one out from most of the other good examples. I suppose it says something re the style being generally well carried out.

Cask in Nobody Inn. Clear and golden with a thin white head that left good lacing. Fruity, slightly yeasty aroma. Tropical fruit dominates the flavour
