A glorious golden pale ale crafted from the finest pale and crystal malts. Faint biscuit and chewy, juicy citrus fruits burst onto the palate then spicy Boadicea and Pilot hops pepper the taste buds leaving a pleasing long and dry bitter finish.

Cask at The White Swan, Solihull. Clear dark gold with off white top. Some buttery dough with citrus, flora, yeast and pine with reasonable bitterness for a gold. Medium bodied, semi-dry. It grew on me nicely with repeated sips, certainly not bland although maybe a slight acrid aftertaste.

Cask at New Street Spoons. Aroma is doughy with some grain. Clear gold. Thin foamy translucent white head. Sweet. Citrus edge. Soon develops grain bitterness. Also a tad buttery. Light. Slick. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry finish. Me not like. Just something about it that doesn't work.

Cask at Shrewsbury Arms, Stafford. Pours a golden amber with a small white head and good lacing. There’s a mainly malty aroma to this one, with some hints of autumn fruit. Mouthwise it starts off sweet and fruity before some floral hops come into play. Later still citrus and traces of spices come through, and they take over for the finish. Quite nice but a tad too citrussy for me.

Bottle from Cotteridge Wines, Birmingham. Poured a crystal clear amber with a thin white head. The aroma is weak floral hop leading to a medium bitter flavour with lots of hoppy citrus notes on the smooth refreshing palate. Perfect for a session.
