500ml bottle at Grasmere Tea Gardens, in Grasmere, England. From the bottle. Pours a mostly clear yellow-gold color with a white head and good retention. Great lacing too. Pale malt and light bread aroma. The taste follows the nose: Smooth and clean pale maltar and a nice bready finish. I'm not getting any of the apricot or lime or peach notes that the label mentions, but it's still a very good golden ale. Medium body and medium carbonation. Low bitterness.

Thin white head on a clear golden coloured body. Smooth & creamy. Sweet, toffee, malt & stone fruit tastes with a lightly hopped finish. Nice one

27/6/2020. Bottle from Beer Cockermouth (beergb.com), and shared with the SHIG at the Cumbrian 20 bottle share. Pours clear bright pale gold with a frothy white head. Aroma of citrus, berries, flowers, malt and a touch scented. Moderate sweetness and moderate to medium bitterness. Average to soft carbonation. Nice, refresher beer.

Bottle from Beer Ambleside. Appearance - golden with generous lacing. Nose - peach and lemon. Taste - more of the peach and lemon. Then a spice from the hops thing going on too. Palate - light bodied, long and crisp. Overall - really great balance to this beer with good use of bittering hops.
