Bottle from Northumbrian Gifts, online. Pours a gold with light haze and nice looking small white top. Standard gold aroma of bready malts with citrus and floral noted hops although maybe a touch more yeasty. Taste starts grainy and bready, then a slight yeasty tang and sweetness followed by decent level of hopping with citrus notes and a building bitterness, slight resinous feel. Near medium body and good for the ABV. Good underrated gold or maybe they've improved the recipe or conditioning in the last few years.

Bottle from Taste of Northumbria, Alnwick. Light gusher. Very over-carbonated. Massive rocky white head, hazy yellow gold underneath. Constant stream of bubbles. Dirty lemon aromas. Fizziness ruins it.

Bottle thanks to allmyvinyl. Appearance - almost a gusher. Big fluffy head suggesting gusher and yeast infection. Golden beer. Nose - dirty lemon. Light malt. Taste - more of the same. Palate - creamy and malty. Could be fresher on the finish. Overall - ok.
