Thick biscuity malts, a good dose of zesty hops. Some lemon zest, even lime, touches of spice, some corriander. Good mouthfeel, light carb, light bitter finish, with a good pale bready malt aftertaste, decent stuff, i liked it.

Tap @ Patricks. Clear golden body under a moderate sized, lacing white head. Aroma is a bit weak, but clean and nice with just malt. Taste has a really smooth, soft malt flavor, hint of fruity hops, a floral touch and moderate bitterness. Medium body with the same smooth malty aftertaste. Not particular exiting, but a well made golden ale within the style without any off flavors.

Taste comprises lemon sherbets, straw, herb, hedgerow, grass, airy malts, toasted grains. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close splashed with leafy hop bitterness.
