A naturally brilliant blend of malt and hop characters. Solid gold colour, remarkably aromatic. smooth body with hints of fresh citrus. Dry delicate hop flower finish. A drink that is both distinctive and long on refreshment.

Bottle from my local grocery store ‘Loco’. Pours a clear light golden colour with a medium sized thick creamy white head. Aromas of toffee, caramel, bread, biscuits, citrus and floral. Taste has more of the same notes from the aroma with an added touch of peppery spice. Sweetish earthy hop finish. Medium body with a smooth slightly oily mouthfeel. Quite nice. edit: Liking this less the more i drink.

Historical tick which I am adding as a rate so that I can see the impact it has on my stats. 500 Beers To Try Before You Die. Had at some central London pub, probably a Nicholson's.

Hazy orange blond with a small patchy white head. Aroma is very malty and slightly stinky/sulphurous. Taste gives more malt, bread/dough. Very soft in the mouth. Slightly bitter finish and soft carbonation. Not that exciting to be honest, but not bad.

Queens Hotel, Ambleside. Cask. Golden color. Hops and some citrus in the aroma. Very hoppy and citrusy. Rather thin, even a bit watery. Pleasant hoppy, oaky aftertaste. Firm hop character, good balance, but could use more body.

Bottle at home in Hackney - picked up for reduced price at Waitrose. Pours perfectly clear copper with a foamy, white head. Pretty basic stuff, has some leafy hops, lightly toasted grains, hints of orange peel. Light bodied with average carbonation. Faint grassy bitterness in the finish, more grainy malts, suggestions of citrus. Not great but not the worst, either.
