A very clean, flaxen-coloured beer with wonderful thirst-quenching properties. The subtle blend of aroma and bittering hops give a crispness on the tongue which is delicately fruity, giving way to some dryness. The inclusion of flaked maize in the grist subtly hints at crisp corn flavours.

Cask gravity at Hooden on the Hill, Ashford, Kent. Pale gold, lasting thickish white head. Grassy aroma, some herb/spice on the hop, but mostly a flatish grassy beer. Great condition but lacks punch. Some lime on finish. Condition makes it ok

bottle from Darts Farm. Clear (perhaps slightly hazy) pale golden yellow, large bubbly-fluffy-fizzy head. Fruity nose. Very light-bodied with shy malty flavours, pleasant hints of lemon and grass as well as some dry aromatic hops and a tiny touch of sweetcorn. Refreshing and crisp.

Bottle, thx to Tarjei. A clear, yellowish golden beer with a thin layer of white bubbles. Citrusy, mostly lime, aroma with tea and a weak maltynes. Lime and lemon in the flavor with pale malt in the back, followed by a decent bitterness and a fruity and slightly piney, bitter finish. Medium body. Yet another rather boring but sure easy to drink and quenching golden ale. (080731)
