Cask @ The Cove, Covent Garden, London. Pours a clear golden color with a small white head. Fruity malty aroma with some hoppy hints. Sweet fruity, malty and hoppy flavor. Sweetish malty finish with some bitterness in the aftertaste.

Hazy golden with a small but lasting white head leaving some lace. Citrus aroma, some elderflower, hint of toffee. Sweet malty flavour that lacks some personality, says the guy who is not a fan of floral golden ales...

Cask-conditioned at the Robin Hoods Retreat, Bristol 11/7/07. Golden with a lacy white head. Fruit aroma with a touch of hops. Flavour started malty before some grassy hops kicked in. Pleasant.

(Bottle 50 cl) Clear, pale amber with a small, white head. Fresh, fruity aroma - a bit of coconut? Light in body with some vague, fruity accents. The finish is dry. Very fresh and lovely. 130507

[i] [b] Cask conditioned at the Crown, Charlton On Otmoor, Oxon, 02-06-07[/i] [/b] Golden colour with a slight haze, small head. Nice pleasantly fruity beer with good hops, some bitterness tasty if a bit safe[b] 3 [/b] [i] [b] Cask conditioned at The Bell Banbury [/i] [/b] Pours golden with a hint of haze going on. Some sweet and floral aroma’s. Taste is fruity but delicately so and backed up with some sweetness and then the fruitiness is more identifiable as a soft sweet summer fruit, better than last time sees this beer move up a couple or more points [b] 3.3 [/b]

500 ml brown bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. ABV is 4.5%. Clear golden to amber colour, moderate but lingering head. Lovely hoppy aroma with distinct notes of flowers and tropical fruits. Moderately malty flavour with "dusty" / biscuity and citrussy hops. Moderate bitterness, fairly dry. Moderate carbonation, easy drinking.
