Bottle from the real ale store, Newark. Very pale gold colour with a tiny white head. Aroma is fruity hops and a touch of malt. Taste is both fruity and a touch of herbs, with a balanced finish.

Cask at MoCa, Matlock. Just spent an hour looking at carpets. This beer has perked me up, no end. Hoppy, pineapply, refreshing and drily bitter. Infinitely better than discussing the merits of neutral tones, opposed to colour.

Half-pint, gravity pour at the 1st Hodnet Sports and Social Club Beer Festival on 17 Aug 2013. Light blonde in colour with a thinning white head. Yet another UK golden brew with a citrus feel to the nose and taste: how fed up am I of these style of beers? A LOT! Nothing wrong with the beer, itโs just me: everyone else (almost) loves these sort of brews, or so they tell me. Scored objectively: glad I only had a half though.

Cask @ Golden Rule, Edinburgh [130713]
Golden blonde, clear, dense white head, good lacing - like the name!
Aroma - soft citrus, light pale fruity malt
Taste of soft lemon citrus hops, slight gooseberry, soft light cereal pale malts, touch of lemon zest
Palate - Light body, fairly oily. Finish - lemon zest, bitter lingering hop tail. stronger bitter hop on the finish
Overall - Really drinkable stuff - considerably more bitter in the finish

Gravity dispense at the Happy Man, Englefield Green, Midlands BF, 15/03/13. Clear pale golden with a thin white head which soon dissipates. Nose is light pineapple, pale malt, hops, orange squash. Taste comprises citrus, orange, light pineapple, hops, touch of grapefruit, straw. Medium bodied with soft carbonation, light bitter notes in the finish. Ok stuff with a bit of hop thang going down.
