Bottle from Sainsbury's, Salford. Golden with a small head and a golden style ale with a pleasant hoppy light sweetness. This is a tasty session brew.

Bottle f on M & S. Clear golden pour, foamy head fades away. Malty aroma, grainy, mild sweetness. Taste brings a hint of caramel, light bittering hops and more rich malty flavors.

Bottle from Morrisons. Pours a clear light golden colour with a thin throthy white head. Aromas of biscuits, honey, apples and light floral. Taste is floral, biscuits, light honey and a touch of citrus and peppery spice on the lightly grassy finish. Thinnish body and slightly oily mouthfeel. Nice and fresh. Enjoyed this good beer.

Re rate. A straight down the line golden, with plenty of bitterness. I nibbled a bit of Stilton alongside and it was a perfect match. Something to bear in mind for future cheeseboards

500ml bottle. Pours slightly cloudy yellow, thin head, some retention. Aroma of malts, citrus, a little spice. Taste is citrus, tea, biscuit with a nice long bitterness in the finish. A standard citrus blonde but the long bitter note elevates it a little.
