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.

Bottled (from Beers Of Europe). Slightly hazy orange colour, small slightly off-white head. Aroma is wood, mild bitter floral and grassy notes as well as some slight maltyness. Flavour is rather similar with crisp maltyness and quite rich carbonation. Nice bitter and earthy finish.

LIghtly hopped IPA and very easy to palate due to its very healthy texture.

Sunday evening: 22 Apr 2012. 500ml brown bottle out of date by a year: Poured into a vase shaped ’Old Speckled Hen’ badged glass (at home). Pale golden body almost lager clear: on top a full and deep white crown of foam. Boadicea and Pilot hops give the aroma a mild peppery feel that just over-shaddows the malted barley and wheat smells. The taste is a refreshingly pleasant blend of the above ingrediants: this is a well balanced brew that I really enjoyed. Full bodied for an English Pale Ale, a tasty beer that went very nicely with my mini Pork Pie.

Cask at Hamilton Hall, JDW, London. Pours clear gold with a fine foam head. Zesty citrus and straw in the nose. Light to medium sweet flavor with sticky lemon, dry straw and hay, and some light dough. Light bodied with fine carbonation. Medium sweet and dry finish, with lightly earthy and lasting bitterness. A very classic golden ale.

Cask-conditioned at the Staffordshire Beer festival, Seven Stars, Bristol 6/10/10. Amber coloured with a slight, off-white head. Fruity malts, some cereal flavours and citrus hops, before a dry finish. Good.

500ml bottle. Pours golden light with very little head. Aroma is light malt and some citrus. Taste is some citrus to start and a bitter finish. Pleasant enough.
