Old rating from - 30-09-15 - 500ml bottle, a present from a friend who visited Shrewsbury. It pours a golden colour that has a white head that disperses quickly. Aromas of citrus, lemon & barley. Tastes was fruity, with some apricot as well as citrus & lemon. Fairly mild bitter hops aftertaste. Enjoyable

500ml bottle from Hop Vault, Stourbridge, online. Clear gold with small white head, well carbonated appearance. Aroma of pale malts, some sweetness, light caramel and pear fruitiness. Taste is biscuit, some pear and berry fruitiness, moderate bitter finish. Good body for a 4.2% although a little cloying, moderate carbonation. Quite nice overall.

[Cask at the Charlton Arms, Ludlow.] A bright pale amber pour with a tight cream head; grassy aroma; biscuity malt taste; and a light fruity bitterness.

Cask at Cromwells, Shrewsbury. Pours golden yellow with a small almost white head and good lacing. There’s malts in the aroma – but not much else. In the mouth it fluctuates between being slightly sweet and slightly bitter. Malts are again the mainstay, but now joined by traditional hop and traces of marmalade, honey and berry fruits. Bitterness wins out in the finish. I don’t normally go a bomb on golden ales, but this is decent.

[December 2021] A beatuful looking golden ale, with a creamy white head and a slightly yeasty, light malt aroma. Really smooth mouthfeel, with light biscuit malt filling the flavour profile, some honey sweetness and a slight citrus bitterness towards the finish

Cask at The Red Lion, Pembridge, Herefordshire. Pours clear golden with a cream cap. Aroma: pale malts, light citrus, caramel, straw. Taste: light to moderate sweet & bitter, semi dry, light pale malts with hints of citrussy hops on the finish. Medium body with soft carbonation. Hundreds of golden ales like this one which didn't stand out
