Crisp light dry mouth with apples and oranges. Modest bitterness. Nothing interesting here.

Bottle. Amber/dark orange with a tiny head. Aroma of floral hops, some citrus fruits and biscuit. Taste is floral, malty, slightly fruity, some honey and biscuit. Low carbonation. Smooth. Refreshing. Ok.

Cask at Fox Inn, Fox Corner, Warplesdon. Little aroma, feintly hoppy. A good sold gold with a healthy frothy if not overly lively head. Medium bitter. The hops come through. Smooth, slight carbonation. Certainly mote to it than most of the watery golden ales I’ve had recently.

Bottle from Tesco. Gold colour with a white head. Hoppy aroma fruity, taste mainly sweet. Tbh. A touch dull, and I’m not keen on the label and art work. Ouch.
